NON-DISCRIMINATION [3-3, 406-1]

made aware of an allegation of discrimination or any other violation, Cushman & Wakefield has established reporting procedures in response. Our People Team is committed to investigating allegations promptly, and determines the appropriate resolution mechanism, potentially including taking corrective actions required for infractions of our non-discrimination policy. Cushman & Wakefield also has a 24-hour hotline available to employees and third parties to report issues, including discrimination or other violations of our policies. These reports can be made anonymously and in multiple languages. RETENTION AND WORKPLACE TRANSITIONS [401-03] Our teams work to develop and motivate our people across our global operations regardless of position, level or job type. We understand the value of developing and retaining managers and teams. We look to actively track and address the root causes of employee turnover and ensure we are managing any trends as a result. In 2022, our overall turnover rate was approximately 34.4%. We recognize that staff reductions or organizational changes are difficult and require special consideration for those involved. In such instances, we leverage an outplacement consultant and provide transition plans where feasible and appropriate. These transition plans aim to assist with next steps and to find new opportunities through efforts such as career and interview coaching, job leads, webinars and social media strategy development. Ultimately it is important we are taking care to support those affected with their next chapter.
