Slack Training for Teams

Quickly equip teams to use Slack best practices for distributed collaboration, productivity, and efficiency.

Slack offers much more than richly-featured messaging - it maximizes the value of a team. Slack integrations streamline the work environment, Slack commands make distributed work engaging and efficient. Communication is easier with Slack and, at the same time, simplifies complex workflows and collaboration.

This fast-paced workshop prepares you to leverage Slack’s key features while implementing. From commonly used commands to layering with other tools, we teach how to maximize utility out of everything Slack has to offer. In this four-hour training session, our experts demonstrate best practices and teach the important features of Slack.

By the end of this workshop, you will return to work ready to use Slack for more than just messaging. You’ll be ready to use a range of commands, more efficiently work with your colleagues, and seamlessly integrate your most commonly-used applications using Slack as a central platform.
