Pension: Women urged to ask for pay rise as pensions fall short by £143,000 | Personal Finance | Finance
But how can women summon the courage to ask for a pay rise? According to Ms Johns, the process does not have to be as nerve-wracking as some would think.
She added: “If you’re in a position where you’ve been at a company for a while and your skills have grown, then I absolutely think it is appropriate to ask for a realistic pay rise.
“Even if this is in rise with inflation, don’t be afraid of asking. You need to know your worth as a valuable asset to your company.
“The first thing was to take a real hard look at myself with all the aspects and skills I have grown.
“If you establish you are giving more to the company, taking on more responsibility, then in that case you can start.
