Negotiating your salary

Don't wait, take the initative yourself Many people wait patiently to be invited to a salary negotiation (and some wait in vain) - but you can always ask for a negotiation, if you think your salary and working conditions need adjusting.

Preparing the negotiation is key. It involves being aware of the challenges most of us face when we have to make a demand on our own behalf, as well as dealing with disagreement while continuing a constructive relationship with our boss. Preparing both content and process and dividing your effort into a range of strategic moves will make it easier and less 'all or nothing'. Using effective ways to communicate helps make the process constructive and ensure that both parties are happy with the result.

Students are welcome to participate.

ProgrammeIntroduction; the definition of negotiation and sharing experiences of what you find challenging The Four Phases of Negotiation:

Phase 1: Negotiating With Yourself - preparing content and process; what do I really want and what will be enough?
Phase 2: Influencing Negotiation Partners - strategic moves; how to plant seeds and kick-start the negotiation in both formal and informal situations leading up to making the agreement
Phase 3: The Negotiation Meeting - facilitation and constructive communication; pitfalls in situations of disagreement and how to guide the process in order to move things forward
