Stories of Progress

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

VOICES OF INCLUSION In 2023, Cushman & Wakefield offered a program called Voices of Inclusion to provide further awareness to employees on dimensions of diversity such as religious inclusion or the influence and power of relationships. The program enabled a broader platform of diverse topics for learning and education that generally do not fall into the affinities of our ERGs. The program’s objective was to help people develop dialogues around difficult or sensitive subjects while remaining respectful of different values and belief systems. All sessions were virtual and included the participation of our senior leaders, who delivered opening and closing remarks and participated in fireside chats. Presentations were given by external subject matter experts and spanned various dimensions of Cushman & Wakefield’s DEI efforts. Participation was strong, especially in EMEA and the Americas regions where 21% of employees attended at least one of three sessions.
