Slack is your Digital HQ
Connect your people, tools, customers and partners in a digital HQ. Break down communication silos and bring teams together around common goals, projects and processes.
Create flexible connections with employees, customers and partners
- Empower people to achieve success from anywhere by providing them with the flexibility to choose where, how and when they work best.
- Break down silos by bringing everyone across teams, time zones, physical spaces and companies together around common goals and projects.
- Grow engagement in a work-from-anywhere world by recreating quick, informal office discussions with lightweight audio and screen-sharing.
- Give teams a digital-first way to brainstorm, solve time-sensitive issues and chime in on projects using Slack huddles – all without scheduling meetings, so work keeps on flowing uninterrupted.
Work faster with asynchronous collaboration
- Accelerate work by giving everyone across teams, time zones, physical spaces and companies accessible tools to collaborate asynchronously with each other.
- Create short audio, video and screen recordings with Slack clips to provide an update, showcase work, go through a product demo or give step-by-step instructions.
- Watch clips your way – speed them up, slow them down or read the captions. Transcriptions are archived and searchable, adding to your organisation’s knowledge history.
