What brought us here
We have experienced, studied and analyzed the power and force of work in our lives. As a result of this, we have developed the Emotional Salary Barometer, the only tool which measures the emotional benefits that people, teams or organizations get from their work. To support the Emotional Salary Barometer we have also developed a range of tools, methods and processes to support individuals, teams and organisations to understand how to use work and the emotional benefits that come from it as a platform for personal and professional growth and success.
