In this episode of The Recruitment Playbook, we welcome back Alex Madigan and tackle one of the most talked-about topics in the workplace: pay rises. From understanding why people feel the need to ask for a raise to how businesses should respond, this episode covers it all.
We kick off by exploring the reasons behind pay rise requests and how to approach the conversation with confidence. Next, we dive into how businesses can value their employees properly and the importance of benchmarking salaries. We then take a closer look at who is typically asking for raises and discuss what expectations the business should consider.
Beyond pay, we explore what else employees might be seeking from their roles and share tips on how to navigate these sometimes tricky discussions. Finally, we wrap up with a quick-fire round of questions before closing out with some key takeaways.
Tune in for practical advice on managing pay rise conversations, whether you’re an employer or an employee looking to better understand the process.
