What best practices should be recommended for notifying employees using @everyone, @channel, and @here?

Recommending that only admins use @everyone in the general channel aligns with best practices for maintaining effective communication in Slack. The @everyone tag sends notifications to all members of a workspace, and using it indiscriminately can lead to notification fatigue or overwhelm employees with excessive messages. By restricting this capability to admins, organizations can ensure that @everyone is used sparingly and only for important announcements, thereby maintaining clear and focused communication.

On the other hand, allowing free use of @everyone, @channel, and @here by all members could lead to confusion and decreased productivity, as employees might receive frequent notifications that are not directly relevant to them. This can create an adverse effect on engagement and information retention. Ensuring that only designated individuals, such as admins, can utilize this functionality helps streamline communications and emphasize important updates, making it easier for employees to manage their notifications effectively.
