2022 Environmental Social Governance (ESG) Report

SOCIAL

Workplace and Culture

In addition, our global DEI strategy captures our enterprise commitment to change. We have established regional DEI councils in the Americas, APAC and EMEA to help operationalize the global DEI strategy locally, and to ensure that we focus on the biggest opportunities to make progress across our workforce, workplace and marketplace in each region. Each DEI council is chaired by the chief executive of the region and is comprised of senior decision makers who represent a broad range of backgrounds, service lines and geographic locations. The councils’ objectives include: > Championing DEI at Cushman & Wakefield with colleagues and leaders across the organization > Establishing DEI priorities that align with one or more of the global strategic focus areas: Workforce and Talent, Workplace and Culture, Marketplace and Service Offerings > Guiding the strategic direction of DEI by helping ensure our commitment is realized throughout the region > Monitoring internal and external diversity trends, metrics and insights > Keeping informed about external news and events, and understanding their impact internally > Driving and measuring accountability toward DEI progress We are encouraged by the progress we are making and the acknowledgement we receive from our employees. Our 2022 Global Employee Engagement Survey showcased our strengths in the areas of DEI, manager relationships, and teamwork and collaboration. Our DEI Index, embedded in the Global Engagement Survey, exceeded the global benchmark by 4% with an overall score of 80%. While there is always room for growth, we remain steadfast in the strength of our data and our commitment to fostering a positive and inclusive work environment where all employees can thrive.
