American Association of University Women’s research on the gender pay gap shows that one year out of college women are already paid significantly less than men. Women who work full time take home 80 cents for every dollar a full-time male worker is paid. Over a lifetime, those lost potential earnings add up. Women who negotiate increase their potential to earn higher salaries and better benefits packages. By negotiating fair and equitable salaries, women are better able to pay off loans, make purchases for needs and wants, and even save for retirement. AAUW Work Smart is designed to help attendees negotiate for a new job, raise or promotion. In every two-hour workshop, they will gain confidence in their negotiation styles through facilitated discussion and role-play. While this workshop is targeted toward women, men are also allowed to participate. RSVP is required.
