Salary negotiation throughout the year
With the interactive course, IDA focuses on salary negotiation as an ongoing process. Your salary development depends on much more than what goes on during the salary interview with your immediate manager. It is much more about being able to bring yourself into play in everyday life, which will strengthen your position when you have to argue for your demands for salary and terms of employment. It is therefore absolutely essential that you can draw attention to yourself and make your results visible.
What do I learn in the interactive salary negotiation course?
You will be taught to gather relevant knowledge, find good arguments, and at the same time understand the importance of knowing the counterpart you are negotiating with. In this connection, you will be presented with tools that you can use before, during and after the negotiation meeting, and which will hopefully bring you closer to the negotiation result that you would like to achieve.
More specifically, the course gives you:
- Inspiration for how you can work strategically with your salary negotiations in everyday life
- Inspiration to make yourself visible in the organization and focus on your results to your manager
- Increased awareness of the value you represent for the workplace
- Tools for your preparation of the salary negotiation
- Tools and questioning techniques to handle the conversation at the negotiation table
