Negotiate for the Compensation You Deserve

Event Details

UDI Capital Region's WUDI Committee invites you to join the first WUDI Workshop in the brand-new Fan Tan Hotel. Beautifully restored by The Salient Group, the Fan Tan Hotel is situated in three historic buildings on the famed Fisgard Block. Designed to celebrate the history and resilience of Chinese immigrants, their important contributions to modern Victoria, and the authentic cultural heritage of Canada's oldest Chinatown.

About the Workshop

This workshop will enable you to feel confident in asking for the compensation you deserve. We cover everything from how to navigate asking your manager for more money, to what you should be looking for before signing a new employment contract. We leave time for group discussion and Q&A to ensure all your questions are answered. This workshop is led by Jillian Climie, who has spent her career in executive compensation.

Key takeaways include:

What pieces of compensation & benefits are appropriate to push on (beyond salary).
How compensation decisions are made within employers.
What you should and shouldn't use as rationale for a pay increase.
The biases women face in negotiations, and how to work around them.
When you should be bringing up compensation, and how to frame the ask.
