Hey there, friends! Thanks for tuning in to another episode of Leaving The Nest! Today, I am discussing something that seems pretty simple but is actually one of those little workplace details that nobody really teaches you: setting up your out-of-office email reply!

Whether you are heading out on vacation, traveling for work, or taking some well-deserved PTO, there are a few things that you should keep in mind before you step away. I talk all about what to include in your message, how to communicate when you'll be back, and how to let people know whether you'll be checking your email or completely unplugging. I also share some examples you can use to help you get started!

Beyond the email itself, I share some tips for planning ahead, coordinating coverage, checking your calendar, and avoiding common mistakes such as forgetting to turn your reply on or leaving it active after you return.

My goal here is to help you feel confident stepping away from work while making sure that things continue to run smoothly. You deserve that time off and I hope that you find these tips helpful. As always, feel free to reach out with any questions! I would love to hear from you!

Key Takeaways:

  • Set up an out-of-office reply when you will be unavailable for a workday or longer.

  • Clearly communicate your return date, email availability, and expected response time.

  • Arrange backup coverage in advance, always ensuring to ask colleagues' permission before listing them as contacts.

  • Keep your message professional and brief, avoiding too many personal details or sharing your cell phone number.

  • Double-check your calendar, activate your reply, set an end date, and coordinate with teammates before and after your time off!
