Thank you for your review. We need to improve some areas, and your insights are invaluable in helping us get there. We recognize that regional marketing roles are crucial to our success and that they deserve the visibility and recognition they deserve. In your position as the Field Director, we ask that you actively work with leadership to ensure that every contribution is highlighted and aligned with our broader objectives. Regarding our martech infrastructure, working on the need for a more robust digital marketing foundation includes everyone's efforts and needed investment, plus our teams evaluating solutions to support more efficient and impactful marketing efforts. We want you to feel empowered to speak up about these areas of concern. Finally, we hear you on the issue of internal politics. We’re committed to fostering a collaborative environment, which means challenging ourselves to work transparently and supportively at all levels. Thank you for helping us grow stronger.

Thank you for leaving your review. Career development remains a key focus, and we’re committed to creating structures supporting upward mobility. Our overall attrition remains low, which suggests we’re fostering a rewarding work environment, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for improvement. Our organization includes multiple segments and sister companies, and we encourage our people to think of RELX as a marketplace of opportunity. With the business world changing constantly and so rapidly, virtually every established business feels the imperative to improve and innovate continuously. Executives, managers and employees across our business work hard to figure out how to best and strategically address the genuine needs of our customers and partners globally.
