I think you are right about pulling in hundreds of these variables to correlate with both intuitive and quantitative tests that we have to define 'productive' employees. Then you can send an electric shock whenever someone's theta waves get too low or something..
Seriously though, our first level of productivity is dictated by things biological, and if you can create models to paint a strong enough picture of a productive worker then it gives you a feedback loop. And don't forget, not everyone is a knowledge worker like us, people still drive trucks for a living, pick fruit, do construction, etc. That is a huge market.
