Q. Whilst we're working remotely, the channels I prefer to communicate via are ...
The explosion of channels and touchpoints to work together whilst working remotely has benefits and challenges. Being clear on how you use different platforms is essential.
With the rapid shift to remote working, we've been overloaded with new channels and new ways of communicating.
They offer benefits, if used in the right way - but not everyone likes communicating in the same way.
Use this question to consider and communicate what channels you prefer to use, but also how you prefer to use them.
How to find your answer:
1. Spend some time listing the current tools and technologies you currently use - and see if they play different roles for different tasks in your day.
2. For each tool - how does it help you do your job, and different jobs? And for each tool, do you prefer how to work with it - perhaps you like answering slack messages immediately, but only replying to email once a day.
3. Once you share your preferences, do you need to agree with your team on how you collectively use channels?
