ERG & MISSION

EXAMPLES OF HOW ERGS ARE MAKING AN IMPACT

CWFL (Cushman & Wakefield Future Leaders) CWFL’s primary objective is to assist members in developing leadership skills through collaboration, continuing education, community service and recognition.

CWFL built on their mission to focus on career foundations and the skillsets needed to drive professional development, growth and success in commercial real estate for early-career employees. In 2022, CWFL sat with former-CEO John Forrester to hear about his journey, successes and challenges, as well as his advice on career progression. In addition, CWFL selected the recipients for the annual “7 Under 7” awards, which recognize employees with seven years or less of experience in commercial real estate, who demonstrate behaviors within four pillars of excellence: community service, exceptional performance, outstanding character and active learning. HOLA focused on career development, including cultural and educational programming for Hispanic and Latino colleagues. Topics included unconscious bias, strengthening communication skills across different audiences (colleagues, managers), and ways in which employees can demonstrate diversity, equity and inclusion in their day-to-day interactions. Additionally, the HOLA team continued to provide opportunities to nurture the development of employees through their mentorship program. In 2022, LEAD continued to educate colleagues about obstacles and inequities often faced by people of differing abilities, how to act for disability inclusion in the workplace, and proper business etiquette and processes to support the disabled community as allies in day-to-day interactions. Throughout the year, LEAD provided educational opportunities and training around the world. Some highlights included: • Celebrating the launch of LEAD’s new chapter in India with a special guest speaker, the head of sustainability and ESG for a hotel, who led a conversation about driving action for disability inclusion at work • Disability awareness training with LEAD Australia and Bus Stop Films, an inclusive film production company that makes films with, for and about people with disabilities • Prioritizing disability inclusion in the workplace with LEAD in the Americas and a keynote from a disability expert, who focused on the Future of Work and the importance of prioritizing disability inclusion in the workplace • Honoring International Day of Persons with Disabilities through DEI partnership with Disability:IN

HOLA (Hispanic & Latino Advancement) HOLA’s mission is to attract, develop and grow the Hispanic and Latino community at Cushman & Wakefield by providing an inclusive and connected platform from which all employees will benefit. LEAD (Leading with Education and Awareness of Disabilities) LEAD’s mission is to support colleagues affected by disability; this includes peer-to-peer conversation, community building, opportunities for networking and career growth, education, and awareness of resources. LEAD also strives to support the recruitment of people with disabilities.
