During this event attendees broke into small discussion groups and discussed the OIWC topic of the month,

"Quality of Life Benefits that are Important to you in the Workplace".

In the OIWC Career Satisfaction Survey we found that a job is so much more than a paycheck and the outdoor, snow and bike industries are in the unique position of being able to offer meaningful perks that substantially enhance their employees quality of life. At this event we will review all the sought after benefits in our survey along with how companies are doing in providing these benefits.

The top 5 sought after quality of life benefits we found in our survey were:  1) Flex schedule,  2) Professional development training or seminars,  3) Clear performance reviews/policies,  4) Relaxed dress code and 5) Subsidized or discounted gear or services
