Happy New Year! Thanks for a great 2026. We made one resolution for 2027: to make working with us even easier.
The first message of the year, done right.
- 01
Send it on the first day back
Before the break, people are wrapping up. On the first day back, a warm hello sets the tone for the year.
- 02
Look back once, then forward
One line about 2026, one about what's next. That's the whole message.
- 03
No new-year resolutions for other people
"This year we'll be more efficient" reads like a warning. Save goals for the kickoff meeting.
For team leads
Your message says “see you in January”. Who's around until then?
The weeks around the holidays are when half the team is out and nobody knows which half. Forgot puts everyone's time off, public holidays in every country and your release dates on one calendar, so you know who's covering before you log off.
- Send one link and your team adds their days off, no sign-up for them
- Public holidays for every office, so a day off in London doesn't surprise New York
- A morning Slack post with who's out today

Questions
What do you say in a New Year message to employees?
Thank them for last year, say one thing you're looking forward to this year, and wish them a happy, healthy New Year. Send it on the first day back.
How do I wish my colleagues a happy New Year professionally?
"Wishing you a happy and successful New Year. I'm looking forward to working together again this year." Short, warm and fine for anyone.
Is it too late to say happy New Year in January?
Not in the first week or two back. After mid-January, skip it in emails and just say hello.
