How To Write The Ultimate Out-Of-Office Email

In order to excel in your career, it is important to remain professional and consistent. Yet even the best of us need time off work to recharge ourselves. In an ideal world where true work-life balance exists, you can effectively delegate your tasks to your colleagues and your boss wishes you a happy holiday on your way out. You basically leave work in the office and turn on your holiday mood. But how many times do you still get “urgent” emails during your time off? Or the unexpected phone call from your boss/colleague asking you to update the bit of missing information that “only takes 5 minutes”? <h1>Working in the hyperconnected world</h1> Whether officially agreed or acknowledged upon unspoken consensus, whether you like it or not, we are part of a modern-day workforce and are expected to incorporate our work into our lives.
