How to Ask for a Raise

Asking for a raise can be a daunting task. How do you get the boss to see it your way? Preparation is key - don't talk to your supervisor until you've planned your approach. Asking for a raise is much like a sales presentation, and sales is not a skill that many healthcare professionals have perfected.

Here are a few tips:  

Timing is everything.
Studies have shown that on Fridays, workers are in the best mood, and therefore more agreeable. Sure, it sounds obvious, but it’s best to approach your boss at the end of the week, rather than the beginning of the week, and especially not on a Monday!


Performance pays.
Definitely ask for the raise when your performance is at a peak. For example, if your patient encounters are higher than ever, or you were recently recognized for an accomplishment, award, or completing a major project – now is the time to strike while the iron is hot.

Do your homework.
Know your value in the market. There are several websites which will provide compensation information such as Absolutely Healthcare.com.
