Donut

Donut has developed a team engagement integration for Slack, providing digital opportunities for social interaction between employees through a communication platform. It enables digital communication templates such as "virtual coffee" programs, icebreakers, and conversation prompts, ultimately aiming to boost workplace productivity and engagement through socialization encouragement.

Whilst Slack is already used to combat the loss of in-person workplace socialization, Donut has recognized that many employees do not actively engage in these social channels. By automating random conversation amongst workforces and encouraging the integration of social rituals into Slack channels, the company shows great potential to replace missing social links despite workforces remaining remote-only.
