In case of maternity leave, make sure that you set up a long-term out of office message.
My new job provided a template OOO as part of the onboarding brand templates package! I’m sure it might seem like overkill to some, but I’ve had tons of nervous first-job employees ask me what theirs should say, so I loved that they just gave a sample to go from.

But I’m really the only person that does that I do, so when I’m gone, they just have to wait. :shrug:

(Scary, I know.) Don’t worry, though, because I will be checking in every so often and responding to anything urgent.

I love this and want to start using it. I am assuming it’s pronounced “hood-a-lay” and that said hodilay has already begun when the OOO message was written!
