Closer

The project explores the employee-manager relationship in corporate environments where pressure and burnout often weaken interpersonal connections. Employees may hesitate to share struggles, while managers may lack the skills to provide meaningful support.

To address this, the project introduces a digital app that fosters empathy through anonymous check-ins, emotional insights, and support options like one-on-one meetings or chats. Managers receive a team-wide emotional overview without breaching privacy. Employees seeking help appear incomplete, symbolizing the need for support. By balancing critique with practical solutions, the app helps companies recognize burnout patterns, encourage open communication, and create a more compassionate workplace.
