Life happens. We get sick or need a mental health day. We have doctor, dentist, and accountant appointments. Everyone understands. The key to maintaining structure and sanity is communication. Nothing is more frustrating than staring at a co-worker's unavailable Teams status and wondering where they went or when they will be back. Please follow these best practices:
- When calling in sick, email the entire day team that you will be out or post in the team chat. This will ensure that either your work will be covered or deadlines moved in your absence.
- If you can, turn on your out-of-office with an appropriate message. (See 1. Set your Out of Office in Outlook for more information.)
- If you have an unexpected appointment or knot you will be out longer than a standard lunch hour, notify the team using the Library - Open Door Chat on Teams.
