Keep it respectful and warm, and resist updating them on work in the same message.
How to write it
- Reassure them the team is coping well.
- Don’t include work updates.
- Keep it short and kind.
Respectful wishes
Wishing you a speedy recovery. The team is doing well — please focus on resting.
Get well soon! Everything is under control here.
Thinking of you and wishing you a quick recovery.
Please take all the time you need. We’ll be ready when you’re back.
Sending best wishes for a smooth recovery.
Warm and personal
We miss your calm in our meetings. Get well soon!
Hope you’re feeling better soon. The team has your back, just like you always have ours.
Rest up! We’ll keep things running the way you taught us.
Get well soon — the team is managing, but it’s much better with you.
Lightly funny
Get well soon! We haven’t burned anything down. Yet.
We’re holding stand-ups without you and they’re suspiciously short.
Please get better — nobody else knows how to fix the projector.
Get well soon! We’ve been approving our own holidays. (Kidding.)
Short wishes
Get well soon!
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Take care and feel better soon.
Thinking of you — rest up.
