Compensation was a primary catalyst of the Great Resignation as the economic prospects of workers rebounded following the COVID-19 pandemic. In our 2022 Talent Retention Report, 43.4% of employees who left their job did so because they were unhappy with their compensation. However, as inflation stresses household finances, employees are still looking for ways to improve their salaries.

While salary is a primary motivation for workers, many don’t know how to ask for a raise and avoid it altogether. A survey by PayScale revealed that only 37% of workers have ever asked for a raise from their current employer.

On today’s episode of Find Your Niche, a Career Podcast, host Lori Cole breaks down the behaviors that prevent you from earning a pay raise at your current job. Some of those behaviors include:

  • Not asking for a raise: You can’t get what you don’t ask for
  • Not preparing for a salary conversation: You need to research the market and explain why you should earn more
  • Not showing your value: You have to share what you’ve been doing that warrants the raise
