Whether it’s a salary review, a “can I have a pay rise?” conversation, or explaining pay decisions when budgets are tight, these discussions can quickly become uncomfortable, emotional, or risky if you’re not prepared.

Join us for a complimentary webinar where we’ll show you how to approach pay conversations with clarity, fairness, and confidence — without damaging trust or morale.

This practical session is designed for SMB owners and managers who want to handle remuneration discussions in a way that feels professional, human, and defensible.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to structure salary and wage conversations so expectations are clear and fair

  • How to make pay decisions in the context of performance, business realities, and internal equity

  • How to respond to tough questions (and emotions) without getting defensive

  • How to make employees feeling heard and respected — even when the answer is “not right now”

Who should attend:

  • Business owners and operators

  • People leaders and managers

  • Anyone who has to explain or make pay decisions in a small or growing business
