Through <strong>Starbucks</strong> Partner View Survey, we asked the majority of our partners in 2003<br />
what they thought about working <strong>for</strong> the company. It was the most extensive research<br />
we’ve done with this many partners at one time. We went beyond surveying <strong>for</strong> satisfaction<br />
(attitude) to include engagement (behavior), which has a strong and consistent link<br />
to overall business per<strong>for</strong>mance.<br />
Partners rated the following five items as important or very important in their decision<br />
to join <strong>Starbucks</strong>:<br />
1. The opportunity to work with an enthusiastic team<br />
2. Working in a position where I add value<br />
3. Medical benefits<br />
4. Opportunity to grow and develop skills<br />
5. Growth-oriented company<br />
