Corporate Social Responsibility Report 2019 | Cushman & Wakefield

Providing Opportunities to Those with Disabilities Cushman & Wakefield is proud to offer opportunities to those with disabilities. Across the globe, we partner with several organizations in support of these individuals.

Cushman & Wakefield actively promotes our relationship with Jobsupport , the leading employment service for people with intellectual disability in Australia, encouraging peers and clients to follow our lead.

Cushman & Wakefield works with front-of- house office managers in both corporate and client offices to identify a range of tasks that suit the requirements of Jobsupport candidates.

Cushman & Wakefield’s Access & Inclusion partnership with Vivid Sydney , a 23-night-long festival in its 10th year, has transformed from the provision of accessible infrastructure and tours for community groups, to building Australia’s largest inclusive playground called the playSPACE. We collaborated with other organizations to build the playSPACE for children with disabilities or special needs so they could play, participate and belong, no matter their level of ability. The design process involved extensive participation from artists with disabilities, giving them the opportunity to create a world where everyone belongs. The playSPACE attracted over 211,000 visitors and has become a mainstay for Vivid Sydney’s annual program. In 2019, 150 Cushman & Wakefield employees volunteered throughout the three-week duration of Vivid Sydney. C&W Services Singapore was presented with a Certificate of Recognition by SG Enable at the 5th Enabling Employers Awards ceremony. The award was given to C&W Services Singapore in recognition of the firm’s support and efforts in integrating persons with disabilities into the workplace. The award demonstrates the firm’s wider goals to build a culture of diversity and inclusion, one of the key values at Cushman & Wakefield.

The roles offered are designed to allow candidates to succeed in daily tasks, while providing enriching opportunities for personal and professional growth. A critical component of this partnership is for leadership to ensure that Jobsupport employees are provided with the same opportunities as all other Cushman & Wakefield colleagues. To further promote Jobsupport, Cushman & Wakefield partnered with the Department of Family and Community Services on the ‘See the Possibilities’ campaign, which engages employers across Australia to share the value that people with a disability bring to a business. The campaign showcases stories from both employer advocates and employees and asks employers to pledge in support of hiring people with disability and to take the next steps to build a more inclusive workforce.
