Many employers in Estonia are paying more and more attention to employee well-being. While there are many aspects to well-being, and financial aspects are certainly not the most important, financial security has a direct impact on our sense of well-being and our quality of life. In fact, it is the lack of money that has a direct impact - there are many studies that show that above a certain level of income, people are less and less motivated and happy when they get a salary increase. At the other end, however, scarcity of money can become a dominant preoccupation in a person's daily life, with no way of overcoming it or getting around it. While pay is not a fundamental component of our well-being, it becomes a central problem when people do not earn enough to live in a humane manner.
