Moreover, as always, negotiations and wants and needs are not win-lose. For example, a person might mean &#8216;signing bonus&#8217; and not just &#8216;salary&#8217; when discussing &#8216;pay.&#8217; Similarly, an employee might mean &#8216;office hours&#8217; when discussing &#8216;flexible hours,&#8217; which may even be in sync with employer needs as they need people in different shifts.<\/p>\n<p>For another perspective, which is different from the results of this survey,\u00a0read my interview with author <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alighaemi.com\/wp\/?p=913\">Beverly Kaye<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>*Things That Need To Go Away: employers pretending the above are not priorities.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is not the first time that I write about What Matters To Employees.
