We spend most of our time in the workplace, and it is important for us that our management values and respects our work. If you think that your superiors underestimate you, that you deserve more money for your work, you will have to talk to your boss about it. There is nothing shameful in this conversation, but one must be ready for such a conversation.
Instructions
Step 1
Get ready to talk about a pay rise in advance. Consider all the arguments in your favor that you can present to the manager. Submit specific facts of your high-quality work, it is better that this be documented: final reports, specific digital indicators.
Step 2
Point out those exceptional qualities of yours that the employer will find it difficult to find in other candidates for your place. The boss must understand your indispensability in order to agree with the need for a salary increase.
Step 3
Find out in advance what you can count on. See what your labor is worth in the market.
Step 4
There are many factors to consider when choosing the time for this important conversation. Choosing the wrong time, you run the risk of causing only the displeasure of your superiors, while returning to the conversation about salaries will be much more difficult later. It is best to start a salary conversation after a firm's big, successful projects. The environment should be calm and stable, generally avoid important conversations with management if the company has any problems.
Step 5
Avoid being demanding when speaking. The leader should hear from you not complaints and dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs, but a willingness to actively cooperate further, love for his work, goodwill. You must build the conversation so that it is not unpleasant for the boss, you must convince him of the correctness of your statements.
Step 6
Be calm, don't tense or get nervous. Feel yourself with the boss on an equal footing, you are negotiating.
Step 7
Name the specific numbers you are counting on. Otherwise, the manager, in order to get rid of the unwanted conversation, will slightly increase your salary, thereby satisfying your request, but not at all satisfying your desire.
Step 8
Remember that a salary increase is not only the result of a conversation with your superiors, but a real job for a long time. Management will disagree with your requirements if you simply haven't received a raise for a long time. But it will agree with a salary increase if you have shown yourself to be an active employee to whom the affairs of the company are important; if you are interested in new knowledge and are ready for regular education; if you are a purposeful and responsible person.
