Gesture & etiquette

Stand to address the team. Slight bow (20°), warm smile. If a small token is available, hand to immediate manager or team lead first. After the greeting, sit and ease back into rhythm — let team initiate detailed catchup.

Return-from-leave greeting (maternity, sick, sabbatical, etc.). Address the whole team in morning meeting or send a short email-to-all. '長らくお休みをいただき' acknowledges the favor of the team carrying your work. Bring a small token (お土産 sweets) if returning from maternity leave. Don't promise immediate full-pace — frame return as gradual.
