Overall employee satisfaction has increased among lawyers – however, dissatisfaction over bonus schemes has reached a new low. Vanessa Ip reports
Lawyers are happier than they were 12 months ago, with fewer employees actively searching for new jobs, according to research by Legal Week Intelligence. Remuneration continues to be a source for dissatisfaction, but is less important to overall happiness than other factors including work/life balance, treatment by partners and career progression.
These findings, based on over 4,100 responses from this year's Employee Satisfaction Report, were discussed at a roundtable held in association with Chadwick Nott on 10 November. Delegates covered a range of topics including best practice, the shifting legal marketplace and how employers must adapt to the ever-changing needs of modern legal professionals.
