We are a growing, distributed and fully remote team, which means that it is absolutely key for us to define our ways of communication and document expectations.
Everyone is responsible for both adopting the communication guidelines and holding others accountable for following them. This means that whenever you see a teammate forgetting a guideline, it’s your responsibility to help them remember what is our practice.
This is a starting point, please do your best to read and align but also please get involved and contribute. 💪🏽
Cheers!

Communication tools and types - October 2022
The way we communicate in our professional lives changes constantly. From email, to Slack, to group chats on mobile. Some of us even remember the good ol’ fax machine - Boomers and even Millennials can be nostalgic like that. While Xennials, for example, sometimes view a tool like email as almost prehistoric! We have different expectations now around how responsive we want our colleagues and team members to be, how we feel about notifications and round-the-clock email messages, as well as aspects like direct messages versus more public messages on platforms like open Slack channels for different teams.
Also, it’s no longer just about communication - it’s about collaboration too, and tools to share and store documents and knowledge. It’s not a perfect science, yet, in how we bring these things together, and it can become complex and confusing.
At MOSTLY AI, we want to make sure we’re using the best tools for what suits our business and our people, so we ran a survey to listen to our team. The results and suggested actions are available below.
This is a starting point, please do your best to read and align but also please get involved and contribute. 💪🏽
