Recipe overview
As research has consistently shown, taking time off is key to not just preventing employee burnout, but to improving their happiness and productivity while at work as well.
But taking time off in itself isn’t enough. To get the full benefit of the time away, employees need to be able to truly unplug—a task that’s made harder when colleagues continue to send emails and Slack messages, unaware that their colleague is out on leave.
That’s why it’s important for employees to prep for their leave before they go—like blocking their calendars on the days they’ll be out, or updating their Slack status to reflect that they’re out of office.
With this Recipe, you can help automate some of that all-important PTO prep. When an employee is out on leave, Rippling will automatically update their Slack status to reflect that they’re out of office.
Prefer a Slack message to the team instead? As with all our workflow Recipes, you can customize this template to your exact needs, including when it should trigger, what the actions should be, who it should go to, and more.
