Our Approach

WE ACCELERATE PROGRESS FOR OUR PEOPLE by embedding our purpose and values across our company in our strategy, culture, policies, practices, benefits, programming and performance goals. As real estate advisors, we are also stewards of the built environment, shaping communities and influencing the lives of their inhabitants.

Why do our people practices matter? As a leading global commercial real estate firm, Cushman & Wakefield has a responsibility to help shape a more sustainable and inclusive future for our people, clients and communities. Every employee has a role to play in making our company a better place to work. We employ approximately 52,000 people globally who deliver exceptional value to our clients and make an impact in our communities. How are we driving forward? Our new strategic priorities — Strengthen the Core, Operate with Rigor and Position Cushman & Wakefield for Long-term, Organic Growth — have a focus on creating a high-performance culture to attract, develop and retain top talent across our firm. We drive performance through a well-defined and visionary strategy, a culture of goal-setting and achievement, and a talent recruitment and management structure that attracts the best professionals and motivates them to develop their careers at our firm. We provide structured career paths, compensation aligned with performance and benefits that focus on the well-being — physical, mental and financial — of our workforce. Globally, Cushman & Wakefield is committed to respecting the rights of its employees to join labor organizations. We strive to comply with all applicable labor laws, including wage and hour laws, and fair labor practices for our employees in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Country- and service-line-specific policies and handbooks are available to help employees navigate their employment rights.

In 2023, 8,134 employees in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, the U.S. and Vietnam, comprising 16% of our global employees, were covered by collective bargaining agreements.

How is it aligned with our business objectives? Our focus on attracting and onboarding new colleagues, aligning our work to achieve success, and developing and growing each employee to build a meaningful career at Cushman & Wakefield is essential to building a high-performing company. The ability of our employees to produce superior results for our clients on a consistent basis positions us to win new business across our platform.
