Negotiation Skills for Women: How to Successfully Negotiate in the Workplace
After 5 waves of COVID-19 and frequent lockdowns, Canada is facing a widespread labour shortage. Organizations from across sectors are struggling to find employees, and qualified professionals have become a hot commodity. This means that opportunities abound for workers, including women who had to leave the workforce due to the pandemic and who now are ready to get back to work, switch into a new field, or advance their careers.
No matter what a woman’s goals are, when it comes to career, negotiation skills are critical. Skills in negotiation can help women land a better job, earn higher salaries, and enjoy better working conditions. Yet, according to , gender differences in negotiation outcomes may be one of the largest contributors to the gender pay gap. Add to this that 20% of women never negotiate at all according to .
