DevelopHer Salary Negotiaton Income Share Program


Description

"DevelopHer is a career development platform founded by Lauren Hasson that offers women in tech a repeatable, scalable framework to build their value, increase their earnings, and bridge the gender wage and opportunity gap. Lauren launched DevelopHer in late 2017 with only personal savings and continues to flourish with no outside investment. Since the launch of DevelopHer, Lauren has helped thousands of women negotiate $30,000 to $80,000 more in salary, bridging the gender pay and position gap. As an every-woman who has overcome gender pay discrimination, Lauren teaches, inspires, and pulls other women up, so they have the tools to succeed and understand there are kindred spirits for inspiration. Lauren inspires women to seek understanding of their true value and to learn and seek growth continually. Women who know their value and know their relative value in the marketplace will be better able to self-advocate and command higher positions and salaries. Through DevelopHer, Lauren works with top tech companies, including Google, Dell, Intuit, Armor, and more, and higher education institutions, including Indiana University, Texas A&M University, Tufts University, and more. DevelopHer has recently partnered with Kappa Alpha Theta women's fraternity to provide online training for their members. The most amazing accomplishment is that as Founder of DevelopHer Lauren has achieved these successes, grown DevelopHer to have an international presence, and influenced thousands of women, all while working full-time as a successful software and application security engineer for a Silicon Valley payments company herself.

Replicability

The DevelopHer pay equity program is an award-winning online platform for women in tech that distills the essence of how to negotiate for higher pay into a framework that is repeatable and scalable. The DevelopHer Income Share program will expand the scalability of the initial pay equity offering by extending availability of this highly successful framework to more women. Lauren's repeatable, scalable, and affordable platform provides women knowledge and specific tools and empowers them to realize their value and potential, take personal responsibility for their career growth and reach higher to create their own success. The DevelopHer Income Share program provides access to the award-winning DevelopHer pay equity program to a part of the DevelopHer audience who could not previously take part in the program due to personal financial constraints. The new program offers a new level of scalability to the DevelopHer audience, and enables DevelopHer to reach more women to join the mission of ending pay disparity.

It arms women with information and tools will empower them to understand their true value, negotiate for higher salaries and level the playing field in the very competitive tech environment.


WSIS values promotion

The new DevelopHer Income Share program will provide access to the award-winning DevelopHer pay equity program to a part of the DevelopHer audience who wanted to invest in themselves but could not previously take part in the program due to personal financial constraints. Lauren designed the DevelopHer pay equity platform to be scalable and accessible by everyone. She is working on expanding this accessibility by listening to her DevelopHer audience and actively seeking out innovative solutions, such as the Income Share program, so even more women in tech can realize their true value and bridge the gender pay and opportunity gap.
