UNI is the App for Emotional Intelligence Management. Organizations today are facing much more than technological challenges. Even though several efforts and complete, expensive and complex strategies are orchestrated so that organizations can keep up with the pace of world transformations, advances encounter barriers in essentially human issues, relationships, noisy communication and lack of sense of belonging and relevance, triggering severe mental health conditions (depression and burnout). UNI takes care of the organization's mental health by developing the emotional intelligence of its employees and leaders. The app works like this: everyone in the organization has access to the app, where they can report their emotions in two clicks. The reports are made from a real-time emotional map of the organization, which can be accessed by leaders and HR. When the same emotion affects a significant number of people in a team (30%) - with the potential to negatively "infect" the entire team, the leader receives an email warning of the situation, with instructions, possibilities for action, models of conversations and meetings to deal with that emotion, based on an action plan.

Every organizational transformation is dependent on the stability of its organizational culture. In this context, an increasingly important topic is the mental and emotional well-being of employees and leaders as well as the quality of co-creation and collaboration. 52% of all workers are feeling burned out in organizations. Depression already affects more than 264 million people worldwide and will be the leading disease by 2030.

- World Health Organization A survey by the Boston Consulting Group indicates that, in the last decade, 85% of companies have gone through transformational processes and that almost 75% of these transformations did not improve business performance, not in the short- neither in the long-term but created a high expense. In 2019 alone, more than 360 billion dollars were spent on trainings and consultancy. This research confirms our own findings and years-long experiences in- and outside the New Work world. We have found tools and ways to create stable organizational cultures that are actively supporting transformation and change in taking care of the emotional well-being of all collaborators to cultivate happiness and employee engagement, which goes to the root of the challenge.
