How does mood impact work performance?
All employees go through different phases of productivity: one day, you may want to achieve as much as possible in 6 hours, other days, personal problems can interfere with your work routine and sap your desire and motivation to work. No human being can have the same mood 24/7.

At the end, it is essential to be able to detect, before it becomes critical, a growing or chronic state of frustration so that frustration is registered in time, the probability of resolving the causes is higher.
