Slack
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).
