While we encourage face to face communication, Slack is a very important tool for us at Selgars. We encourage you to keep an eye on it so you don' t miss out on all the fun, spontanous outing and dinner times.
You can join our Slack family here:
Please start by filling in your profile and introducing yourself on the #Welcomehome channel.
If you are new to Slack, no worries! It is quite simple to use.
First, you will need to create an account with your email. Please make sure to upload a picture and use your real name as it is much easier to recognize each other that way.
Once you are in, on the left side on a purple background you will see a list of what we call channels. They are organized by themes.
Go into Channel #General and Introduce yourself! Check out the other channels: #Hold my hair: where you write when you need help with something #Tips: when you want to recommend something #You Rock: when you want to celebrate someone
What else can you do? If you use the @ sign in front of another resident’s name you will ‘tag’ them which means they will receive a notification that you have mentioned them. If you write @ channel you will notify everyone so use it wisely. You can answer ‘in the thread’ which helps keep the conversations in one place. You can react using different emojis/emoticons under each message. 😀 You can also have direct messages privately with someone (towards the bottom on the left side).
