AI-Powered Workplace Emotion Detection System

GlobalTech Solutions is experiencing increased concerns regarding employee mental well-being, leading to potential burnout, misunderstandings, and decreased team performance. Managers lack the time and resources to proactively address individual emotional states. This results in a less cohesive and efficient work environment, potentially impacting project timelines and overall productivity. Current methods of identifying and addressing these issues are reactive and insufficient.
