Getting to know your colleagues can be tricky when working remotely, but Slack is adding a handful of new features to its user profiles that should make things a little more fluid. <\/p>\n

New features include the option to add name pronunciation guides (either by recording audio or adding phonetic spelling); a new pop-up user card UI that appears when you hover your mouse over someone’s name; and reorganized fields in user profiles, which have now been streamlined to three modules: Contact Info, People (which shows who you work with), and About Me (customizable with things like languages \u200b\u200bspoken, start date, etc). <\/p>\n

Here’s what that new UI looks like, with the full user profile card on the left and the pop-up card on the right: <\/p>\n

Basically, it’s more information made more accessible. <\/p>\n

The pronunciation guides and pop-up user cards should be available on June 1st, though some changes may take a few weeks to reach all users, says Slack. In the past, Slack has added similar features that foster a bit more inclusion in the workplace, including the ability for users to list their pronouns.<\/p>\n

Update June 1st, 11:50 AM ET<\/strong><\/em>: Slack clarified that the People module only shows who you work with; the org chart feature is limited to Slack’s <\/em>Atlas<\/em> product.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
