Toxic Work Environment

Global HR teams benefit from innerActiv’s firsthand data feeds that allow them to understand and objectively handle workplace concerns.

Is my workplace’s environment really part of my risk?

When Employees Leave, So Does Data.

More employees choose to leave their jobs due to negativity in the workplace than because of compensation concerns. This doesn't just result in losing a team member—it also leads to data loss. Departing employees are the leading cause of internal data breaches, with up to 70% of losses occurring within 90 days of their planned departure.

Disengaged Employees Open Security Gaps

When employees feel threatened or disrespected at work, their commitment to the organization quickly declines, including their focus on productivity and data security. Disengaged employees cost the U.S. economy up to $605 billion annually and are often among the highest-risk users for careless data disclosures in the workplace.

Risk Often Begins with a Disgruntled Employee

Toxic work environments create opportunities for disgruntled employees to seek revenge or compensation from the company. There are numerous cases of employees deleting essential files, leaking data to competitors, or even resorting to violence due to negative workplace experiences. A recent report indicates that 75% of insider cyberattacks are carried out by former employees harboring resentment

innerActiv's comprehensive Risk Sensors go beyond monitoring file access by analyzing additional risk factors that emerge from employee actions in the workplace. Elements such as language and sentiment, user activity patterns, work hours, data movement, and process usage can all indicate potential risks tied to a toxic environment. By detecting these warning signs, HR and IT security teams can respond proactively, backed by reliable and objective forensic data.

  • Sentiment analysis discovers violent, threatening, or harassing language used in email, chat, or documents

  • Be aware of upset employees who may be seeking retribution from the company or others

  • Tackle inappropriate content and potential harassment issues before they become a lawsuit

  • Identify security risks from employees discussing confidential materials or personal data
