NEGOTIATING A PAYRISE AS A WOMAN IN hR
A FREE SERIES OF SIX EXPERT SPEAKERS DESIGNED TO RECONNECT YOU TO YOUR WORTH AND RECEIVE THE SALARY YOU DESERVE!
Brought to you by The HR Club: The Career Development Network for Women in HR
Let's face it, when you work in HR you get to see first hand the somewhat...erratic way in which pay rises are sometimes awarded within our organisations. We might notice how some departments *coughsales* (oh yes, I went there!) appear to have an abundance of resources while others have to fight for every penny. As a 'support' function, that is often us.
This constant need to 'prove' our value to the bottom line and the fact that we're not an income generator can get in the way of us even asking for the salary we deserve - and when we do pluck up the courage, it can be hard to know where to start. Coupled with the very real barriers that still exist when it's a woman asking for a payrise (you know, like how women are less likely to have successfully asked for a pay rise compared to men*) and well, you can understand why it might feel like a battle not worth having.
Here at The HR Club we believe so strongly that no woman in HR should ever feel alone, and what better way to combat this than connecting you with people who have walked a path before you. Sign up to this FREE series and get access to the wisdom of six incredible women - all with experience of working in HR - to help you secure the salary you deserve.

For over 20 years, Sarae Pratt has specialised in helping people develop and achieve their goals. She has worked in-house as part of HR teams and as an external consultant to provide global learning and talent programmes for middle and senior managers in a range of professional services, educational institutes, not-for-profits and government bodies.
Today, Sarae works with a mix of corporates and private clients and is passionate about women leaders. Having worked in masculine environments Sarae learnt that to fit in, she had to work in masculine ways, which isn't sustainable in the long term - something which multiple burnouts, depression and life threatening surgery eventually taught her.
Sarae's vision is that every woman has joy in her life because she shows up as her whole self all of the time. She is a confessed learning geek – always on the lookout for the next book, expert or training opportunity. She has trained with Oxford School of Coaching & Mentoring, Animas Centre for Coaching and One of many®, for whom, Sarae is a Certified Coach and Trainer.

From Monday 3 October to Monday 10 October, every weekday morning one of our fabulous speakers will wing their way to your inbox ready for you to watch at your leisure. There and then, over your lunch or chilling in the bath - the choice is yours!
You'll also receive reflective questions, practices and affirmations over the course of the series to help you realise, acknowledge and accept the sheer brilliance you bring to your work, because you do! Even if it can't be squished into some calculation for the bottom line, or can it?
Are you ready to secure what you're really worth?
Because you ARE worth it, you know. There's no such thing as 'just' HR. There's no such thing as other people's work being more 'valuable' than yours. You're allowed to want the same for yourself as you do for other people.
