Create an Out-of-the-Office email message when leaving the office for a day or longer. This shows consideration to email senders by cutting the suspense. The message should mention: duration of absence; activity (if work-related and unclassified); commitment to a specific response time; your or your staff's contact numbers for matters that are at the same time important and urgent. Make it warm and brief. Don't overshare information. If it's a vacation don't gloat about it. When you move to another company, leave a permanent Out-of-the-Office note thanking your now ex-company and indicating your personal email address and other contact details. An Out-of-the-Office message should never exceed three sentences.
