Supercharge your Slack team this autumn: Top 5 tips.

Win a Christmas Tree for your office (or home) this December.

It’s autumn. The sluggish summer is over and it’s all actions go with work. The projects are pumping, the kids are at school, and we’re carefully optimising our work-life balance. Slack has proven to be an incredibly useful tool for communicating with the team whether in the office or out and about. But without proper pruning it can quickly become a bramble bush of broken threads, lost leads, and miscommunication.

Here’s our Top Five tips on how to keep your Slack evergreen:

1. Strategic channel organisation: 

Create a clear, logical channel structure with consistent naming conventions. This helps keep discussions focused and makes navigation intuitive for all team members.

2. Implement workflow automation: 

Use Slack's Workflow Builder to automate routine tasks and processes. This saves time, reduces manual work, and ensures consistency in recurring activities.

3. Integrate key tools: 

Connect essential project management and productivity tools (like Asana, Trello, KinOS or Google Workspace) to Slack. This creates a centralised hub for updates, and notifications, and boosts your team with AI teams super geniuses - allowing your team to move faster, achieve more and move unimpeded.



4. Utilise threads effectively: 

Encourage team members to use threads for sub-conversations and replies. This keeps main channels clutter-free and makes it easier to follow specific discussions.



5. Establish communication guidelines: 

Create and share best practices for response times, use of @mentions, status updates, and out-of-office notifications. Clear expectations improve overall team communication and reduce interruptions.
