Benefits of Custom Working Hours

Always keep your callers in the loop

Your callers won’t be left wondering why they were directed to voicemail with customizable office hours. If someone calls outside of your hours, they will hear a customizable message before being directed to voicemail. That message can include your normal business hours, when you will return their call, or if your hours have changed for a specific period of time such as the holidays.

Never lose track of important information

You will never miss important information even when you receive calls outside of your business hours. Callers will be automatically directed to your voicemail where you will be able to access their message as both an audio and text file.

Improve your work-life balance

Sometimes it can be hard to set boundaries when it comes to phone communication, especially if you are taking advantage of remote work options. Set a clear boundary for your phone availability with the peace of mind that incoming calls outside of business hours will be handled by Yodel.
