Hi,
Continuing from where we left yesterday, we are discussing tasks that need to be done before you go on vacation. Christmas and New Year have become global holidays. Most of us plan our vacation during this time. Even though travel is restricted this year, people are still looking forward to relaxing and spend some time with family.
Before you go on holiday, you need to organize your work.
In the previous article, we discuss broader tasks that must be undertaken. In this article, let us talk about specific things you need to do before taking off for a week. This will help you not to miss out on completing important responsibilities.
Schedule your posts and calls
In case you have to update your social media during the holiday week then schedule the posts beforehand. Also, if you have calls planned in the first week of January then make sure to block the calendar now. This will save you from sending last-minute meeting notifications soon after you return from vacation. For scheduling social media posts, you can use apps like Hootsuite, Buffer, etc.
Assign responsibilities
Find the right person to manage work on your behalf while you are away. Share the list of To-do and explain things that need to be done. You can even divide your work between two or more colleagues. Introduce them to your clients so they know exactly whom to contact when you are not in the office.
Set your Out Of Office message
Set your autoreply email in advance so that your clients and colleagues are aware of your plan. Clearly state your availability during your time off and when people can expect you to respond.
