Companies can now create groups of employees within Slack, tag them all at once, and automatically add them to relevant channels.
Slack, the uber-popular workplace messaging app, just rolled out User Groups, the company's second update this week. The new functionality will allow companies to broadcast messages based on job title, the physical office an employee works in, or however else a Slack team opts to group its employees. Bringing new employees into the fold will also be simpler, as they will be added to all relevant channels when placed in a user group.
