Purpose

Highly Relatable is a community created by C4 Talent, for all current human resource professionals, or leaders who are considering human resource. This community aims to connect, collaborate, and learn from each other.

At C4 Talent, our primary focus is to champion the significance and impact of the People and Development industry.

Your People Partner⁠

as the needs of individual and company talent evolve.

We will achieve our mission of elevating HR with a dual approach: support the individuals within the field and the employers seeking outstanding people strategy and operations.

Community Guidelines

Slack Guidelines

Ask questions — be sure to ask members for help or advice. More than likely, someone has been in your shoes before.

Help others by answering questions posted by other members.

Ask for feedback on something you’re working on.

Thank members who take the time to reply to your posts.

Say hello to new members and welcome them into the community.

Be friendly, helpful, and encouraging.

‍

The below rules are intended to keep members feeling welcome and safe, and we will step in if needed.

The Rules

Be a nice person. Keep your dialogue work-safe and refrain from bullying. Making unwanted advances or singling anyone out because of their appearance, religion, orientation, or any other reason will get you banned from the community for life.

Debate ideas, not people. Turning a conversation into a personal attack is completely unacceptable in Highly Relatable.

Don’t treat community members as competitors. Our community members are very generous with their time. If you have cause to help someone out, please reciprocate by sharing information.

No inappropriate self-promotion. Post to the #1-connect-and-converse channel or reach out to individual members to begin a conversation.

All other scheduling links should be free as offers to help fellow community members.

Selling of personal or company services not offered by C4 Talent, including but not limited to mentorship programs, freelance services, consulting, or any commercial activities, is permitted but must be communicated to the relevant team members first before publishing into our community.

Respect others’ privacy, confidentiality, and authorship of content and ideas.

If you recognize someone who is using a different name or have a beef with a community member, keep it to yourself and re-read rules 1 and 2.

Do not screenshot anything within slack and share it elsewhere without first asking the author for permission to do so.

Do not share anything confidential or sensitive, even with mentioning specifics or names.

If in doubt as to whether it’s safe to share something or not, ask the author.

Avoid non-relevant and incendiary topics. Take to your personal social media channels to voice your opinions on religion, politics, etc., and keep it off the Highly Relatable channels.
