In France, leaving a permanent role (CDI) often blends professional recognition with emotion. A team card should stay inclusive—peers, managers, sometimes partners—without drifting into HR-sensitive territory.
What works for workplace tone
- Warm but respectful language; avoid contractual promises or commentary on why someone leaves.
- Skip confidential details (compensation, private performance topics).
Safe, still-meaningful lines
- “Thank you for these years: high standards and real kindness.”
- “Your handoffs and team spirit made a lasting difference.”
Career changes
If someone is moving toward training or a new path, you can celebrate the courage of the move without turning the card into HR advice.
