The steep home dashboard is common for the whole workspace and adapts to each user depending on which teams they are in. The top section of the home dashboard always shows up for all users in the workspace and is a good place for company-wide key metrics. Each team shows up as individual sections on the dashboard, and you can add team-specific widgets here.
