Document background
The Farewell Letter is an essential document in Swiss professional settings, used when an employee is departing from an organization. While not strictly regulated by law, it follows Swiss business conventions and should align with relevant aspects of Swiss employment law, particularly regarding professional communication and data protection. The document typically includes the announcement of departure, last working day, expression of gratitude, key achievements, and future contact information. It serves multiple purposes: formally documenting the departure, maintaining professional relationships, and ensuring clear communication about transitions. The tone and content should reflect Swiss business culture's emphasis on precision, professionalism, and appropriate personal expression.
