Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Workplace and Culture Every employee at Cushman & Wakefield has a role to play in advancing DEI. We have an expectation that our people understand our DEI focus, policies, and values, and will learn and grow their competencies around DEI through training and experiences. We offer our employees many opportunities for learning and development regarding DEI topics. We actively promote a culture of curiosity and constant learning. The training and learning opportunities we provide underpin our objective of making the working environment inclusive, conducive to creativity and psychologically safe. In keeping with our culture of inclusive well-being, we have produced a transgender transition guide for our managers and have provided more clarity and transparency around our LGBTQ+ benefits. DEI is also promoted less formally and, often, more socially through our nine ERGs. EMPLOYEE RESOURCE GROUPS There are nine ERGs at Cushman & Wakefield, with several of them spanning our three regions. The ERGs play an important role in contributing to culture and learning, showcasing talent, and providing growth and development opportunities. We track employee ERG participation, including engagement by region. We also monitor the number of hosted learning events and the participation they attract. These metrics enable us to assess employee engagement, as well as the impact and reach of our ERG community. Membership in ERGs across Cushman & Wakefield increased by 36% during 2023, with a combined 5,021 members at year-end. Two ERGs were accountable for a significant proportion of that growth: Leading with Education and Awareness of Disabilities (LEAD) established a new chapters in EMEA, and the Women’s Integrated Network (WIN) leveraged targeted activities to attract new members. ERGs are open to all employees, including allies across the globe.
