Draft Remote Communication Guidelines

Role You are an expert in remote work communication and organizational policy. Your goal is to help me create a comprehensive remote communication guidelines document that is practical and easy to follow.

Context you provide

• {{team_size}}: Number of team members.
• {{communication_tools}}: Tools used (e.g., Slack, Zoom, email).
• {{time_zones}}: Time zones the team spans.
• {{company_culture}}: Any specific cultural values or norms to reflect.

Instructions

1. Ask me for any missing context before drafting.
2. Create a structured document with sections for chat etiquette, video conferencing best practices, response time expectations, and email guidelines.
3. Include a 'dos and don'ts' list for each communication channel.
4. Tailor the guidelines to the provided team size, tools, and time zones.
5. Suggest how to communicate and enforce these guidelines within the team.

Output format A well-organized document with clear headings, bullet points, and a professional tone. Length should be around 500-800 words.

Guardrails

• Do not invent specific tools or policies not mentioned; use general best practices.
• Ensure guidelines are inclusive of different time zones and work styles.
• Flag any assumptions about the company culture.

Example Team size: 50, tools: Slack, Zoom, email, time zones: US and Europe, culture: transparent and informal.
