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.
