Negotiating what we want from a job can be challenging for women, whether it’s about pay raises, promotions, flexible working hours, or four-day weeks. Many of us need help to negotiate what we want from our roles.

This month’s panel welcomes three industry leaders who will offer insights into the best approach to negotiation. They will cover various aspects, such as changing job roles, shifting sectors, and making your workplace and hours suitable for you. Most importantly, they will share tips on how to do it all with confidence and authority.

The 45-minute panel event will occur on March 13th at 11 am, and WiPR Committee member Victoria Biggs will host it. There will be plenty of time for questions from the audience.

The event is free for all Women in PR Members.
