Beat the Wage Gap: Strategies for Women at Work to Earn More

About this Course:

Understand the wage gap and take specific steps to close it through awareness and negotiating skills for women.

It has been illegal in the United States to pay men and women different wages for substantially similar work since 1963 and yet the wage gap still exists. The current wage gap research shows us that women make about .80 cents on the dollar compared to men in the workforce. Although some of this can be explained by the career fields and other choices men and women make, some of the gap can also be explained by a different set of behavior in the workplace, behavior you can do something about.

I'm Katy Caselli, an experienced Human Resources professional, Organizational Psychologist and author of the book Building Giants. Let this course serves as your wake up call. If you are a female in the workplace you may exit this short course a bit angry, possibly with yourself, or with your organization.
