During the new hire orientation, we learned about 5 key best practices when using Slack. Can you name three?

1) Be mindful of using @here and @channel

2) Use Threads to respond to channel messages. Doing so allows us to organize simultaneously ongoing conversations in one channel.

3) Whether you are interacting with an individual privately or publicly on Slack, we ask that you continue to practice and refine your knowledge in inclusive language principles.

4) Leverage your Slack status to communicate your availability. 

5) Incorporate bold texts, emojis, bullet points to make long post more digestible.
