Case study:

Identifying Toxic Behavior in Slack

Posipanda aims to foster a positive work culture by identifying and addressing communication challenges. In this scenario, we will demonstrate how Posipanda alerts bad behavioral patterns.

Alerting Process

01

John acts bad in a Slack channel

Let’s say a team member, John, has been systematically displaying negative behavior in a Slack channel dedicated to project discussions.

Example of John’s Behavior:

"Why can’t you understand such a simple thing? I don’t have time to fix everyone’s mistakes. It’s not rocket science. Maybe you’re just not cut out for this."
John
Not-so-nice person

02

Posipanda’s Analyses John’s Behavior

Using advanced AI sentiment analysis, Posipanda evaluates John’s messages on two axes:

  • Toxicity to Kindness
  • Passiveness to Responsiveness

John’s recent messages rate as:

  • Toxicity to Kindness: -6
  • Passiveness to Responsiveness: -3

Posipanda will also send a notification if any of these additional triggers are spotted in the conversation:

  • Use of derogatory language
  • Personal attacks or insults
  • Consistent negative or dismissive remarks
  • Expressions of anger or frustration directed at team members

03

Posipanda Alerts

Posipanda sends an immediate notification to a specific closed channel where one authorized management team can see it:

"I have detected consistent negative behavior from @John in the #slack-channel. His recent interactions rate high on toxicity and low on responsiveness. Immediate intervention is recommended."

While Posipanda recommends extending support and assistance to John as an initial step towards rectifying the situation, the definitive course of action remains at the discretion of the management. 

04

Posipanda sends a message to John

In addition to a notification to the management team, Posipanda sends a personal message to John with a friendly reminder.

"Hey John! We’ve noticed some of your recent interactions on Slack might not align with our team’s communication values. It’s essential to maintain a positive and collaborative environment. If you’re facing any challenges, please reach out. We’re here to help and support. Let’s keep our discussions constructive and respectful."
