To support your new digital environment, you'll invite others to your Slack workspace and bring their contributions into unique channels for work projects, planning, brainstorming, problem-solving, and information-sharing. You will also amp up the effectiveness of workspace communications by using channel and individual tags to loop others in on relevant information.
