Slack revamps user profiles for better connections

13 nov. 2023 Hi-network.com

Slack will let users customize their profiles with more detailed personal information, including audio clips that reveal how they pronounce their name.

The company announced several updates to its product on Wednesday. User profiles accessed by colleagues have received a visual makeover meant to surface more information about the user, including the addition of three new fields.

Under Contact Info, a user can provide a list of ways to be contacted, including additional phone numbers and email addresses. The About Me section provides space for information such as birthdays, pets, and languages spoken. An organizational chart is accessible under the People heading.

Other additions include a name pronunciation field that can be embedded in user profiles that plays a short audio clip, as well as space for phonetic spelling. Hover Cards will also appear when moving a mouse cursor over a user's name to display their profile picture and a shortened version of their profile information.

Audio clips let colleagues hear how Slack users pronounce their name.

The UI updates are now being rolled out to all users starting June 1, though the company said it may take several weeks for changes to take effect for all users.

The aim is to help build connections between workers using its platform, Slack said, particularly those working in separate locations.

"In a work-from-anywhere world, having deeper context about colleagues not only fosters better collaboration, but also stronger feelings of inclusion and belonging," said Maxwell Hayman, director of product at Slack. He said the updates to profiles in Slack enable customer organizations to "provide more context about people and for people to share more about themselves."
