Communication Standards

We realized that while we all love working remotely, wow do humans make things complicated and confusing sometimes 🤪. So we have outlined some of the key principles we follow in remote communication:

  1. I proactive, curious, and explicit in our communication
  2. I strive for Grace, Empathy, and Understanding
  3. I respect one another's time, energy, and well being
  4. I communicate in the most open and logical information channel (generally this is a public slack channel)
  5. When I communicate something outside of slack (Github, Notion, Figma, etc) I do my best to also followup within Slack.
  6. I empathetically follow up with grace and accountability
  7. I seek first to understand, rather than being understood
  8. I believe that, unless it’s the weekend or I having communicated I am OOO, I will check slack once a day, and react or respond to messages directed towards us, or an @channel I am a part of.
  9. I optimize the time spent on async communication, by moving spiral convos to Notion for synchronous conversation

Note: Remote communication is an ongoing learning process that takes team member input and iteration — one for all & all for one!
