Emotional salary is the kind that touches on the emotional gains rather than the monetary benefits of a job. Emotional salary is the non-financial gains employees obtain from working that motivates them and leads to personal and professional development. To work correctly in a business's emotional wage strategy, the firm must first understand the amount of satisfaction and comfort that employees have in the organization, since these characteristics will increase with the emotional salary. It is impossible to develop a proper emotional wage strategy without the workers' input.
