How we iterated and improved our frontend team culture

GitLab's first anonymous engineering engagement survey revealed that the frontend team felt the least safe in expressing their opinions, prompting the company to implement several initiatives to improve team culture. These initiatives include monthly themed frontend calls to encourage casual, non-work-related conversations, a shared frontend calendar to ensure team members are included in important discussions, and a #frontend_maintainers Slack channel for maintainers to share knowledge and align on best practices. Although formal survey results are pending, these efforts have shown promising improvements, as evidenced by the frontend team's high participation in a recent Content Hack Day, despite it coinciding with a public holiday for some members. The proactive steps taken have led to a noticeable positive shift in the frontend team culture, setting a potential example for other teams within the organization.
