Creating the right out-of-office reply is important, especially when out on maternity leave. The message creates a personal boundary that alerts the sender that you will be unavailable during your leave and informs them about who they can contact during your absence. Setting this up early can allow you to craft a purposeful note. This way, you will feel confident in your message, and your co-workers and clients will feel cared for.
Here's an explanation to help you understand the importance of your message and why you should schedule time to work on it.
It Sets Expectations for Everyone
The maternity leave you take after your baby is born is private and very special. The moments with your newborn can never be recaptured. Therefore, it's important to protect this period in your life.
Setting boundaries is important during this time. To help put your work life on hold, establish that your newborn and everything that comes with the bundle of joy is the top priority. When you create the right out-of-office message, people will understand what your current priority is and will respect the boundary it sets.
So how do you create an awesome message to help protect such a special time?
Give Your Out-of-Office Message Some Thought
When around 26 weeks pregnant, start working on the out-of-office message. If given the option to save a title for this, title it "Maternity Leave - Out of Office."
Preparing the message ahead of time gives you more control over what your message will say.
Creating the message early saves you, your employer, and your contacts time. You may need to leave the office unexpectedly (to deliver your baby); as a result, having a prepared message gives your IT admin or your manager a message to use. Do you want IT or your manager setting the tone of this message? Heck no! Furthermore, the message created by your employer may not reflect the language or message you want to convey to your contacts. It can also cause confusion or misunderstandings with clients, especially when out for an extended period of time.
Inform your manager when your message is complete. They'll love to hear that you're prepared for your exit, and there's one less thing they'll need to do to support you.
Things to Include in Your Message
Where you see (parentheses), insert the appropriate words or phrases for your circumstances.
(If you have certain projects you cover list the project name and the person covering you).
Kind regards,
(Your name)
