PERFORMANCE
Cushman & Wakefield is committed to attracting, retaining and developing the best talent in the industry so that we can put our clients at the centre of what’s next in real estate. Critical to this is ensuring we offer clear career paths and a variety of career progression and development opportunities. However, it is up to you to take personal responsibility for your development and own and manage your career at C&W. In order to put our clients and our people at the centre of what’s next we need to ensure we are giving you the right opportunities for regular feedback to enable you to develop in line with business and personal goals. One of the ways we do this is through our mandatory performance management process, which takes bi-annually at C&W.
