DESCRIPTION
The American Association of University Women (AAUW) and the Boston Public Library are pleased to invite you to Work Smart in Boston.
Women working full time in the United States typically are paid just 80 percent of what men are paid, a gap of 20 percent — and it’s even wider for black women, Latinas, and Native women.
Attend this FREE two-hour salary negotiation workshop to learn how to confidently and successfully negotiate your salary and benefits packages. In this workshop, you’ll gain confidence in your negotiation style through facilitated discussion and role-playing and learn
How to identify and articulate your personal value
How to develop an arsenal of persuasive responses and other strategies to use when negotiating
How to conduct objective market research to benchmark a target salary and benefits
About the wage gap, including its long-term consequences
You will also have an opportunity to practice your negotiation.
AAUW Work Smart in Boston is an initiative of AAUW and the Mayor's Office of Women's Advancement to train half the working women of Boston to negotiate their salary and benefits packages over five years.
The AAUW Work Smart salary negotiation workshops are free.
Check-in will begin 30 minutes before the workshop.
