Dos and Don'ts

Tips for Heylo users:

  1. When working (in whichever location), please keep it on at all times and update your status – see below on how to do this. This will be important for anyone to know if you are available for a virtual meeting / conference call…
  2. Please keep all chat work-related. This is not another social media channel…we all have plenty of these and what we are aiming for her is to make flexible / remote working easier and quicker
  3. Please be mindful if you reply on the larger chats – ideally the overall, blue team, red team channels will be less interactive as otherwise the level of messages could become un-manageable
  4. Generally think about your comments / your responses – again with a view to maintaining a good flow of communication which can be acted upon
  5. Generally please be confident that nobody will be judged on what they say and how they say it or indeed nobody will count how many messages one posts or indeed responds to – use your common sense to keep these channels smooth and effective but never be shy to make a comment if you feel it can add value – we need to be inclusive and respectful of everyone’s views and contributions
