CompensATion ConversATion: Prepare to Play the Game

How can you prepare for the compensation conversation? What are some ways you can be prepared before representing yourself in front of your employers?

The NATA AT Compensation Task Force was formed in August 2021 with the purpose of investigating what influences compensation for athletic trainers, including economic, social and health care related issues.
 
 The “CompensATion ConversATion” series, available through “The NATA-Cast” podcast, focuses on what the task force has identified as the five stages in the life cycle of employment: fundamentals, recruitment, advancement, retention and separation. Each of these cycles will feature an in-depth discussion on potential strategies and solutions to some of the more commonly faced issues found in each stage.

In this episode, Murphy Grant, LAT, ATC, NASM-PES, chair of the task force and host of this series, interviews  Jason Daffner, JD, CPA , and Rick Griffin, MS, LAT, ATC to give you some real examples of how to represent yourself and show your value to your employer. 

Daffner is an attorney who represents many athletic trainers and other clients in the area of sports law, employment law and corporate law. He will go over scenarios you need to prepare for when negotiating a better salary for yourself and will even give you some ideas of creative ways you can ask for more compensation. 

Griffin has worked as an athletic trainer in professional sports for more than 40 years and has even spent some time with the professional rodeo. He has learned a lot along the way and wants to share insider tips on how to have the conversation about compensation with your employers.
