Praise is not enough - after a long period of time at work, employees also expect a raise.
If this does not happen, there are usually certain reasons behind it.
Do you do your work conscientiously and stand up for your company - and yet there has been no salary increase so far?
In order to find out why, employees shouldn't just put the blame on their superiors.
Sometimes the cause can also be found in very banal reasons.
1. You shine with humility
Give full throttle every day at work, push overtime - and the boss still doesn't reward you with more salary?
This could be because you are
too modest
and especially shine in the team with invisibility.
In order to collect more money every month, you have to make your efforts and your successes visible.
True to the motto: "Do good and talk about it!"
To do:
Prepare
before figures
,
which highlight your success
.
They are the best arguments for a raise!
How many customers did you win over the last year?
How much money did you save for the company?
You can also keep your manager
up to date
with
regular updates
on the results and goals of your work - by e-mail or in meetings.

2. They do not add value
Anyone who has been doing their job for a year or more without developing further or taking on additional tasks, unfortunately, also lacks any powerful arguments for a salary increase.
To do:
Reflect on your skills: where can I improve?
Which skills do I want to develop?
Take advantage of opportunities for
further training
and thus increase your added value for the team and the company.
Do you have a great idea how you can improve team performance or even save money?
Then always out with it!
Present innovative
solutions to
your supervisor
and increase your value.

Then do not start the application with this sentence.
3. They don't ask for a raise
As simple as it sounds, if you want a raise, you
have to ask for it too
!
There will be no automatic salary increase - after all, your company wants to earn money and not spend more of it if necessary.
Even if you are uncomfortable with a salary negotiation, you should be aware of one thing: it is perfectly legitimate to ask for a raise!
To do:
Make an
appointment
with your manager.
Salary discussions should never be held between the door and the hinge, and certainly not when the boss is in a bad mood.
Prepare powerful arguments:
present your successes (with concrete figures,
see above
) and show how valuable you are to the company.
And if your salary claim is rejected: Ask your boss
to agree on goals
that will make a salary jump possible for you.
This gives you clear points of orientation, which should also increase your motivation immensely.
