Seni Negosiasi Gaji

Meski sudah bekerja beberapa tahun, urusan minta naik gaji ternyata masih hal yang sulit dilakukan banyak orang. Yang biasanya terjadi kita menghadap atasan dalam keadaan emosi, akibatnya berakhir dengan frustrasi dan sakit hati mendengar penolakan dari atasan.

Menurut konsultan dari Experd, ada beberapa hal yang perlu diperhatikan sebelum melakukan negosiasi gaji dengan atasan.

Pertama, mengumpulkan informasi sebanyak-banyaknya mengenai kondisi tempat Anda bekerja. Informasi ini meliputi, bagaimana kondisi keuangan perusahaan saat ini, apakah memungkinkan untuk melakukan kenaikan, jika mungkin, berapa persen kenaikannya.

Ada baiknya Anda melakukan survey kecil-kecilan untuk mendapatkan informasi selengkapnya. Selain itu, seberapa berharga diri Anda untuk mendapatkan kenaikan gaji, dalam arti apakah posisi Anda akan dengan mudah digantikan orang lain dengan ketrampilan sama tetapi bergaji lebih rendah.

Cobalah menempatkan diri dalam posisi atasan, bagaimana mereka akan menyikapi permintaan Anda, mengingat pasti Anda bukan satu-satunya karyawan yang minta kenaikan gaji. Tanyakan diri dengan jujur alasan utama Anda meminta kenaikan gaji.

Kedua, strategi dalam melakukan negosiasi. Sebaiknya negosiasi dilakukan dalam suasana diskusi yang menyenangkan. Diskusi berarti proses memberi dan menerima. Buat daftar terperinci hal-hal apa saja yang Anda inginkan dari perusahaan. Jangan terpaku pada gaji pokok saja, ada banyak benefit dari perusahaan yang bisa Anda tawar.

Olah dan sajikan data-data, apa yang akan didapat perusahaan dengan biaya yang lebih besar yang dikeluarkan untuk Anda. Untuk itu, cara paling baik dalam melakukan negosiasi adalah meminta anggung jawab lebih besar. Perusahaan cenderung merasa keberatan jika harus mengeluarkan biaya lebih besar untuk hasil yang sama yang mereka dapatkan sebelumnya.

Ketiga, pilih waktu, tempat dan cara negosiasi. Carilah waktu dan tempat yang memungkinkan Anda dan atasan melakukan negosiasi senyaman mungkin. Jangan bernegosiasi saat atasan sedang dikejar tengat waktu laporan atau saat perusahaan sedang diaudit.

Mintalah atasan melakukan negosiasi secara tatap muka. Tulis email atau memo kepada atasan mengenai hal ini. Jangan kemukakan terlebih dahulu alasan pertemuan tersebut. Berikan alasan umum aja seperti Anda ingin menerima masukan darinya mengenai performance Anda. Atasan cenderung mencari cara untuk menolak pertemuan dengan bawahan yang ingin meminta kenaikan gaji.

Diskusi yang dilakukan secara tatap muka akan menghindarkan terjadinya salah tafsir akibat bahasa tulis, selain itu Anda bisa melakukan upaya persuasi. Jika semua usaha sudah dilakukan sebaik-baiknya tapi Anda masih tidak mendapatkan apa yang diinginkan, tanyakan baik-baik alasannya. Pertimbangkan secara hati-hati alasan yang dikemukakan.

Jika alasan mereka adalah ketidakadanya dana ataupun waktu yang kurang tepat, cobalah untuk meminta komitmen bahwa permintaan Anda akan dikabulkan secepatnya bilamana kondisi perusahaan memungkinkan.

Jika perusahaan tidak dapat memberikan alasan yang pasti dan masuk akal bagi Anda mengenai penolakan mereka, Anda mungkin perlu mempertimbangkan kemungkinan perusahaan Anda tidak menghargai Anda sebaik Anda menghargai diri Anda sendiri. Kadangkala hal ini terjadi dan mungkin inilah saat yang tepat bagi Anda untuk melangkah ke tempat lain.

7 dont's after a meal

1. Don't smoke-Experiment from experts proves that smoking a cigarette after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of cancer is higher).
2. Don't eat fruits immediately - Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air. Therefore take fruit 1-2 hr after meal or 1hr before meal.
3. Don't drink tea - Because tea leaves contain a high content of acid.This substance will cause the Protein content in the food we consume to be hardened thus difficult to digest.
4. Don't loosen your belt - Loosening the belt after a meal will easily cause the intestine to be twisted &blocked.
5. Don't bathe - Bathing will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs & body thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease. This will weaken the digestive system in our stomach.
6. Don't walk about - People always say that after a meal walk a hundred steps and you will live till 99. In actual fact this is not true. Walking will cause the digestive system to be unable to absorb the nutrition from the food we intake.
7. Don't sleep immediately - The food we intake will not be able to digest properly. Thus will lead to gastric & infection in our intestine.
