Survey about communicating over Slack

Hello! I work for a small research lab called FXPAL. My colleagues and I are interested in developing technologies to better support enterprise communications (especially among distributed teams).

As a first step, we would like to learn about how professionals currently use Slack to communicate with others. This short survey will ask you about how you use Slack communities. Your response will remain anonymous and will not be shared with anyone outside of the research team. Your insights will help us design future tools to support collaboration at a distance.

Thanks! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at marlow@fxpal.com
