SYNC UP YOUR TEAMS WITH SLACK THE MESSAGING PLATFORM FOR THE MODERN MARKETPLACE
TAKE A BREAK
In order to survive in the intensely competitive contemporary marketplace, businesses need to be more nimble and collaborative than ever. There’s no time to play telephone around the office, hold unnecessary meetings, or constantly update members of the team about every little detail of a project. What’s more, as companies expand and workers begin working remotely, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep everyone on the same page. Luckily, there’s Slack, a streamlined messaging app that brings every communication across your entire company under a single platform. As many businesses are surely aware by now, Slack is perhaps the most hyped, lauded collaborative tool on the market, and for good reason. Let’s start with its primary feature: instant chat and messaging. The application connects users in real time, but it also understands that not everyone is needed for every conversation and that not every discussion should be accessible to the same employees. You can set up open conversations in both one-on-one and sub-group settings while restricting access to keep out unwanted or unneeded parties. If your group has a question for a particular member of your team who isn’t in the chat, it’s easy to tag any user across the network with a simple @mention. Then, they can simply join, talk it out, and leave when their task is complete. So far, these features may seem fairly basic. Aside from the robust and crystal- clear implementation, which makes navigating the program a breeze, online chat has been around for years. But when you account for Slack’s wide array of additional tweaks and features to the common chat formula, it really shines. For instance, everything within Slack is automatically indexed and archived. Whether you’re a team member catching up on a project after a day off or a manager reviewing productivity among your marketing team, with a simple search, you can track down old communications. These archives also index any file that’s uploaded within the system, allowing users to search for keywords not only in the chat, but in any shared Word or PDF documents throughout the network. It’s just one feature of many that makes life easier. And that’s exactly what Slack does: It simplifies your life. With an attractive and easy-to-use interface, the program gets out of the way, allowing you and your team to interact clearly and rapidly with no obstructions. There’s simply no better way to build a space of transparency and synchronicity throughout teams, large or small.
