Salary discussions are some of the most critical discussions to happen between managers and employees – but often the constraints are already set in company wide budget meetings.
Managers who know how to advocate for their team members are better set up to navigate these budget conversations.

To make matters even more complicated, salary is an individual experience that should be tackled on a case-by-case basis.
