Today, Designers and Researchers are operating in a wild west. There's no governance or central body to help them stay focused on their career and armed with the latest technical skills.
Team meetings. One-on-ones. Daily check-ins. Weekly catch-ups. Bi-weekly syncs. Even the revered “brainstorm.” So many meetings are squeezed into our calendars that it’s starting to feel like meeting about work is getting in the way of completing any work.
Over the past two years, Slack has been experimenting with new, digital-first ways of working, right here within our own company—from the tools we use to the habits that guide how we work together. Our aim is to design a better way of working that is flexible, inclusive and connected, and empowers our employees to do their best work for our customers.
