Are You Guilty of These 7 Slack Sins That Secretly Alienate Your Team?
6) Overlooking the value of emojis
Emojis might seem frivolous, but they can add a human touch to your messages. They help to convey tone, show appreciation, and even lighten the mood.
However, like with everything else, there’s a time and place for emoji use. A thumbs-up or smiley face can be a positive addition to a daily update or team message. But filling a professional report or feedback with too many emojis can come across as unprofessional.
Using emojis wisely can help you establish a friendly yet professional personal brand on Slack. After all, effective communication is not just about what you say, but also how you say it.
