Remember to let everyone know you are out of the office

This is just a reminder to everyone to remember to set your out of office if you’re not working. It’s easy to do and can also be done in advance to save you the trouble if you forget.

Set up automatic replies

1. Select File > Automatic Replies
2. In the Automatic Replies box, select Send automatic replies
3. On the Inside My Organization tab, type the reply you want to send to colleagues while you’re out of the office

Note: Sending automatic replies to anyone outside the organisation will send your automatic reply to every email, including newsletters, advertisements, and potentially, junk email. If you want to send automatic replies to those outside your organization, we recommend choosing ‘My contacts only’.

4. Select OK to save your settings

Landlines (office phones)

If you’ve not already, please make sure you divert your landline to your work mobile (if applicable) to make sure you don’t miss any calls.

If you’re unsure how to do this, please refer to your manual which came with the phone.

If you have any further questions, please contact the Comms team.
