How to answer compensation questions
5 types of employees that drive managers crazy
Jobs and opportunities for YOU
LEADERSHIP LAB
So, Your Team Member Wants To Talk About Their Salary?
Remember how I hinted on how to tell your team they’re not getting a raise a couple weeks ago?
Well, I just read this interesting article on how managers deal with compensation questions from employees altogether, and I thought you might find it useful.
You know how it goes, right?
Your team member walks in (or hops on a call) and drops the bomb: "I want to talk about my compensation." And you're like, "Uh-oh, here we go."
But it's not just you. Many managers find themselves in the same boat. Why? Maybe it's the fear of saying the wrong thing or just not knowing how to handle it.
Even when they can smell it coming, those questions still catch managers off guard.
I’m talking about questions like;
Can I have a raise?
What factors influence raises and promotions?
Can I have a bonus?
Oh well, this is how to answer (Like the actual script)
You can think of it as your go-to guide for those awkward chats about money matters.
