In a remote (but still very collaborative) world, it’s not always easy to get to know the people behind the screen. That’s where Pingboard comes in.
Think of it as more than just a directory—it’s your space to share a little more about who you are, what you’re great at, and what you enjoy outside of work.
Why it matters
When you take a few minutes to fill out your profile—your bio, skills, and interests—you’re making it easier for others to connect, collaborate, and get to know the real you.
A strong profile can help you:
- Put a story behind your name (not just a job title)
- Spark connections with people you might not work with every day
- Make collaboration easier by highlighting what you’re great at
- Increase your visibility across teams and projects
- Build a stronger, more connected culture
You never know—your love of hiking, reality TV, or cooking might be the thing that starts your next great conversation!
What to include
Keep it simple:
- Bio: A quick snapshot of your role, background, and what you do
- Skills: What you’re great at (from technical expertise to people skills)
- Examples: Programming languages, software efficiency, data analysis, communication, leadership, project management, etc.
- Interests: What you enjoy outside of work—hobbies, passions, or fun facts
- Fitness: Biking, yoga, running, weight lifting
- Hobbies: Cooking, crafting, knitting
- Outdoors: Beach, camping, hiking, gardening, kayaking, skiing
- Animals: Cats, dogs, reptiles
- Sports: Basketball, football, baseball, volleyball
- Arts & Culture: Art, foodie, music, photography
