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.
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”
