As remote working becomes increasingly common due to COVID-19, it's essential for individuals to adopt effective communication strategies in platforms like Slack to maintain productivity and collaboration. To achieve this, users should be empathetic with colleagues' messages, using emojis to convey tone and context, and liberal muting of channels to minimize distractions. Liberal tagging is also crucial to ensure notifications are received by the relevant team members. Additionally, setting up notifications to silence outside working hours and limiting Slack notifications can help maintain focus. Asynchronous workflows should be prioritized over synchronous ones, with messages providing enough context to facilitate collaboration without disrupting colleagues' work. Furthermore, avoiding shouting or using @everyone tags, and being accountable and dependable in responding to questions and requests, are key to successful remote communication.
