In recent years we have heard a lot about flexible remuneration and all the advantages it has for both the employee and the company. The truth is that this type of salary in kind brings great added value both to the company, because it does not have to make a financial effort to apply it, and to the employees, who can save a lot of money per year.
This flexible remuneration can be applied to many aspects of a worker’s working and private life… Do you want to know how to apply it to the company and how you can contribute to the emotional salary of your employees? Read on and we’ll tell you all about it below!
Flexible remuneration: why emotional pay is the future of companies
Flexible remuneration means that employees can use part of their gross salary to buy products/services that are exempt from personal income tax. This means that if an employee, for example, decides to buy his or her public transport pass through this method, he or she can save up to three full months of his or her salary every year. Thanks to this new form of remuneration, the employee can save a lot of money per year and maximize his or her annual net salary. It is important to note that no more than 30% of the gross annual salary can be spent.
This flexible remuneration is yet another way of investing in the employee’s emotional salary, as this form of remuneration is often much more appreciated by the employee than financial remuneration as such. Investing in emotional salary is the future of companies, as it will allow our employees to have a great balance between their work and personal life, increase their psychological wellbeing, making the company have happy work teams and, above all, promote the professional development of each member to the maximum.
Everyone knows that:
“A happy worker is a productive worker” – George Elton Mayo.
Therefore, it is very worthwhile to work on the emotional salary of workers and to opt for flexible remuneration.
