TELL US YOUR THOUGHTS ON OUR LIST POLL What is the #1 benefit that would most increase your job satisfaction at this time? Others have spoken- see what they have to say. Click here and have your own say.

READ THIS AND STAY AHEAD OF THE PACK Market research commissioned by LunchBox List with our partner Synovate- global leaders in market research - confirm along with multiple other national and international studies, working women continue to rate as their #1 work benefit more professional development and training, this also coming out way higher and ahead of other motivators such as money, recognition and health/ gym benefits. We believe too, a reminder here for managers and employers of the power that lies in providing development opportunities for your staff, this year - and more importantly than ever with work environments pressured, and retention of key staff as well as job satisfaction levels remaining a critical item on the workplace agenda especially by those with an understanding that as market despair makes way for new beginnings and a raft of great new business opportunities - it will be those with the best people still playing on their team, most likely to be the ones to take full advantage of changes surely coming. What do they say - Satisfied staff, satisfied work life……well, maybe a good place to begin in the thinking, and should you need further confirmation, we’d suggest, just ask those women of your acquaintance or better still, have your say on our latest LIST Poll.  LAST THOUGHTS Maybe too, time to think about booking your team or group for our second Breakfast Career Booster on 17 June with its emphasis on personal branding. More than 50 women and one fortunate man joined us last time for some much needed motivation at this cost-effective, power-packed Booster brekky. If not your team, what about you or someone special to you and deserving of reward or incentive at this quick, pacy breakfast or maybe, join us at our perennially popular and worthy Everywoman is Extraordinary breakfast on Friday, 26 June we’re you’ll share breakfast and learn from the lives and careers of four of the most awesome and fascinating women you're likely to meet anytime in the near future. Hope to see you – perhaps even with some of your male colleagues at one or either of these truly value-filled LunchBox List events.  Regards  The LunchBox List Team
