Heading Out? Don't Forget Your OOO Message

Before heading out on summer leave, take a few minutes to update your out-of-office message. A good away message should clearly state when you’ll return, whether you’ll have access to email, and who to contact for urgent needs. Bonus points for keeping it professional, concise, and easy to scan. For additional tips and examples, check out: 5 Ways to Level Up Your Out-of-Office Message This Summer

Heat Safety Reminder

As temperatures rise this summer, remember to stay heat aware — especially during outdoor work or in non-air-conditioned spaces. Stay hydrated, take breaks in cool or shaded areas, and pay attention to how you’re feeling throughout the day. Supervisors are encouraged to check in regularly with staff working in hot conditions. Refresh your knowledge by reviewing FM’s heat safety FAQs and guidance resources.
