• Posts: One-to-many communication to the entire company

• Channels: Ongoing conversations in smaller, targeted groups across projects

Typical use cases:

• Safety channel: QHSE manager and all foremen discuss safety procedures

• Management channel: Only management communicates about strategic decisions

• Friday Ride: Social channel for those who cycle together

• Legislation: Channel where the compliance officer shares updates on new regulations

• New Onboarding: HR and new employees during the introduction period
