This project is co-financed by the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism under the Strategic Action Economy and Digital Society Program (AEESD). Its objective is to develop a technologically advanced platform which facilitates human resource management, increasing worker’s productivity and improving individual performance. This will contribute to boosting the efficiency of businesses and to the accomplishment of their objectives.

The created platform allows to collect data on relations between workers, social interactions and workplace culture. All this is done in the Cloud Computing environment
