The Christmas season has arrived, time to give gifts and presents to those we love the most. That is why these dates many companies are dedicated to paying their employees the well-known emotional salary, organizing a party, Christmas dinner or even the well-known inns.
According to Exploring Your Mind, the emotional salary can be expressed from a good work environment to a work-life balance, which is why it is a crucial element to retain the best talent, since people are not usually satisfied only with a high salary. .
According to the recent Sodexo Benefits and Incentives Christmas 2022 survey, 61 percent feel that their employer encourages their work. However, there is still a neglected 39 percent.
According to the same Sodexo survey, 9 out of 10 employees prefer to receive gift cards or vouchers, both physical and virtual, instead of a turkey voucher or a basket of groceries.
Emotional salary at Christmas
The Christmas season is a special moment for employees, because they can see their effort reflected in the economic compensation of their thirteenth salary or bonuses.
But not everything is summed up in money. For others, the satisfaction of this date comes with the recognition of the ’emotional salary’ that the company provides.
This non-economic incentive focuses on ensuring the well-being of workers, through actions that motivate them both in the work and personal spheres.
According to specialists, one of the motivations focuses on highlighting the functions that people have beyond work; for example, their role as fathers or mothers of the family.
This type of motivation does not imply that work tasks are left aside, especially in the month of December, due to the celebrations.
Given this, celebrating Christmas in the company is a way to offer an emotional salary to your human talent. An alternative is to plan a Christmas dinner with all the collaborators, promoting integration and reinforcing the links between them and the leaders. It is advisable to organize it in a not so formal way to reduce the feeling of hierarchies between each other, and that everyone can feel part of the same team.
Likewise, there are other ways to reflect support for work teams, although many companies continue with Home Office and hybrid work, most collaborators want to enjoy more time with their family. Therefore, it offers flexibility in teleworking or days off to be with the family. In this way, they will have time to do Christmas shopping or simply be at home with their loved ones.
In conclusion, a key factor to reaffirm the value of a worker is that managers take into account the opinion of their work team for decision-making.
