2. How to prioritise: what to actually do versus what can wait until the colleague is back
3. One message to send the wider team letting them know who to go to for what today
4. What to flag for the colleague on their return, so nothing gets lost
</task>

<output_format>
- Four sections matching the steps
- The team message is ready to send, under 60 words
- Plain, confident tone, no apologising for being new to the role
</output_format>
