Work Smart & Start Smart: Salary Negotiation
Gender Equity & Economic Security
Learn how to research your target salary, highlight your accomplishments and find the right words — and the confidence — to negotiate for better benefits and pay. You can sign up for a free in-person workshop or online course, which takes less than two hours to complete and can be done at your own pace.
Negotiating increases your potential to earn more — and can make the difference for paying off loans, supporting your family, buying what you want and need and saving for the future.
- One year out of college, women are already paid significantly less than men.
- The gap grows larger over time during a woman’s career.
- Women who work full time take home about 82 cents for every dollar a full-time male worker is paid.
- Unless things change, the pay gap will not close til 2106 — that’s why we’re empowering women nation-wide with salary negotiation skills — and working to change polices and employer culture.

Action Network
We are very excited to support the Action Network on our website and in our advocacy for women and girls. We have discovered that more members and friends participate in the “Two-Minute Activist” component, a great way for taking action to begin working to “advance gender equity and create a more economically secure world for women and girls.”
