Company Culture and Human Resources

Trust in employee capability -> Intrusiveness

How "up in YOUR business" / micro-managy do you want this bot to be? Do you enjoy context switching?

NOTE: This can increase the frequency of check-in emails you get per day - especially after hours.

Clear communication -> Jargon and Acronyms
