Hello Clarity Newbie,
Welcome to Slack! We are so excited for you to join Slack! It’s the heart of our culture and community!
It’s the primary way our team communicates and is one of the most widely used platforms among teams - UNCW, tech companies, graduate programs, and now therapists! We use slack to disseminate important office information = less boring meetings and spamming your inbox.
There is a learning curve but you’ll have it in no time.
Give Your First TACOS!
Add your picture to your slack profile AND add your job title. Ex) Clinician. It makes it so much more fun.
Please star the #announcements channel and the #clarity-clinicians channel and any other channels, conversations, or DMs you'd like to show up at the top of your list. This is a great way to organize your Slack.
Introduce yourself to your new team on the #claritysocial channel. There are people out there waiting and wanting to connect if you choose.
Example:
"Hi everyone! My name is _________ and I am going to be starting at Clarity soon! I'll be virtual Tuesday-Thursday and in-office on Fridays for now.
My specialties are working with adults centered around trauma, dating/breakups, and social anxiety.
I have a dog and love to paddleboard (saw there was an event last month!). I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and starting in the office! Thanks for everyone being welcoming!"
#virtualcoffee - get to know your teammates by mini virtual coffee breaks! This is the BEST way to get to know your new team. Virtual meet ups are automatically scheudled evey 6 weeks.
The fun is never forced. Information in the #announcements channel is your only obligation. You’ll find a whole community on slack and we love it. It’s there for those who wish to participate but never forced or required.
Happy Slacking and Taco-ing!
#announcements - This channel is for company-wide information and is admin use only. You'll find info on policy changes, fun announcements, updates, and general FYIs. A must check on days you’re working and the deciding factor for your communication KPI. Please acknowledge posts on this feed with a “reaction” (emoji- a thumbs up is a great option)! We don’t call unnecessary meetings or send a ton of emails. This is the way you’ll stay up to date on office happenings.
