(2020年3月26日,/HRoot.com/)近日,罗致恒富的一项调查显示,新加坡54%的女性上班族感到薪资不足,而男性这一调查数据则为40%。
该调查还发现,虽然63%的男性候选人在招聘过程中可以通过谈判从雇主那里获得额外的薪水,但只有43%的女性候选人能够获得同样的薪资,这也凸显了强大的薪资谈判技巧对长期薪资满意度的重要性。
罗致恒富新加坡分公司副总监Fen Teo表示:“抛开性别因素不谈,强有力的谈判技巧是职场人职业成功的重要组成部分。我们知道,在制定业务战略、管理团队、按时完成任务并与利益相关者保持联系时,女性员工通常在工作场所表现出优秀的谈判技巧。但是,我们的研究表明,女性在担任新职务时不太可能通过谈判获得额外薪水,尽管她们比男性更需要和应得这笔薪水。”
Teo补充表示:“可能有很多原因来解释女性员工的这种沉默,包括担心表现出咄咄逼人的态度、担心被拒绝和/或可能危及职场发展良机等。”
Teo认为:“女性员工了解自己的市场价值,量化他们对雇主的价值,并且知道解决加薪问题的正确方法,可以大大降低薪资谈判的难度,并取得更大的成功。” 。
Teo总结道:“由于没有建设性地解决薪资问题,男女员工都有可能抑制自己的收入潜力和职业成就,并在目前的角色中承受更大程度的不满。”
SINGAPORE – ONE IN TWO WOMEN SAY THEY ARE UNDERPAID, ROBERT HALF SURVEY FINDS
(Mar.26, 2020, /staffingindustry.com/)More than half, or 54% of female office workers in Singapore feel underpaid, compare to 40% of their male counterparts, according to a survey from Robert Half.
The survey also found that while 63% of men secured additional salary with their current employer during the recruitment process, 43% women were able to secure the same, highlighting the importance of strong salary negotiation skills to long-term pay satisfaction.
Fen Teo, Associate Director of Robert Half Singapore, said, “Strong negotiation skills are a vital part of professional success, regardless of gender. We know that women often demonstrate exceptional negotiating skills in the workplace when driving business strategy, managing teams, meeting deadlines and liaising with stakeholders, as examples. However, our research suggests that females are less likely to secure extra salary through negotiation when taking on a new role – although they want, need, and deserve it as much as their male counterparts.”
Teo adds that there could be any number of reasons to explain this reticence including concerns about appearing aggressive, fear of being rejected and/or that they may be jeopardising a great opportunity.
“Understanding their market value, being able to quantify their value to an employer, and knowing the right way to broach the issue of higher pay, however, can go a long way to making salary negotiations less uncomfortable – and more successful,” Teo said.
“By not constructively addressing the topic of salary, both women and men risk holding back their earning potential and professional success, as well as suffering greater levels of dissatisfaction in their current role.,” Teo concluded.
