Five tips when asking for a pay rise

How can you achieve a pay rise and maintain your standard of living in the current economic climate?

Read this BBC article and follow the five key tips:

  1. Give your boss notice and schedule the conversation at a time that will suit them

  2. Bring evidence to convince your boss that giving you more pay makes good business sense

  3. Use tactics to help you feel confident - eg ask a mentor or role model to help you practise the conversation

  4. Check out current salaries for your type of role and have a figure in mind before you go into the meeting

  5. If you don't succeed, be curious about what your boss is saying and keep the conversation open. It can be hard to listen when you feel you've failed, and if you can turn disappointment into learning, you will be surprised at the opportunities which come your way.

What's stopping you asking for a payrise? And what can help you overcome that barrier? Talk to a friend, mentor or coach if you want support to achieve success.
