Internal Communication - How to Communicate Effectively At Remote

Ensure Transparency

<aside> 🗣 Transparency is key for Remoters: The transparency value shows up in how we communicate the decision and the rationale/background. For most Remoters, the transparency required to satisfy our values is minimal, i.e. "This is what we're doing and why." Where we run into friction/noise is when the transparency pertains to "what are we deciding" and "how did we come to this decision?"

<aside> ⭐ If you have something that impacts a lot of people or workflows, announce in Slack #announcements or #important channel.

<aside> ⭐ Include relevant stakeholders when making decisions.

<aside> ⭐ Internal discussions should not happen in private Slack DM’s unless there’s a highly sensitive reason.

<aside> ⭐ Remoters are encouraged to leave channels, rooms or meetings that are not helpful to them. This reduces noise. Just because a channel is public does not mean everyone needs to be in it.

<aside> ⭐ To prevent bottlenecks, team leaders should delegate tasks and share information openly, especially when they're not available. This ensures progress without unnecessary delays.
