Workshop Spotlight: Advocating for Ourselves: Negotiation Skills and Closing the Gender Pay Gap

 

Negotiation is a critical skill for any professional, but by and large, library professionals are not taught how to negotiate for increased salary and benefits, and much of the resources available only tangentially apply to library contexts. Another key reason why negotiation training is needed is that a majority of library professionals are women (85% of ARLIS/NA members, as shown by the recent Census of Art Information Professionals).

 

This workshop will be led by a trained facilitator through the American Association of University Women (AAUW). It combines aspects of their Start Smart workshop series and their Work Smart series to offer targeted resources to those who are just starting out or who are contemplating promotion, counter offers, or other negotiated benefits. Content will include market research strategies, persuasive language, and other key negotiation tactics. There will be hands-on activities, role-playing and other active learning exercises incorporated into the learning content.

 

We will be sharing more about our workshops in the near future. Until then, check out the conference program for dates, times, and detailed descriptions: http://arlisna.org/newyork2018/program.php
