People often look to a side hustle or a second job to increase their income, but the easiest way to bring in more dollars doesn't require you to change a thing. All it takes is an uncomfortable conversation.
Don't spring it on your boss
Do demonstrate your impact
Don't be arrogant
Do your research
Don't overshoot
Do invest in your learning and development
Don't make it personal
"At Wisr, we believe conversations about money should be open and transparent. We encourage our employees to talk about their personal, financial and career goals with their leaders. It helps to remove the stigma of "taboo" when the more serious discussions around pay and remuneration rise."
Kate Renner, Head of Employee Experience at Wisr
Do time your meeting strategically
Don't give up after your first attempt
Do avoid making demands
"When vying for a pay rise, I like to use the term "fair." You're not demanding a billion-dollar wage. You're simply asking to be given fair remuneration for the value you bring to the business."
Kate Renner, Head of Employee Experience at Wisr
Don't be afraid to move on
Thinking about your next move?
We're always looking for stunning colleagues to join our team.
