OUR PEOPLE

Discover the strength in our differences.

FUTURES
The world and industry in which both we and our clients operate is changing rapidly. There are significant behavioural shifts in how we choose to work, shop and live. We are seeing the emergence of new business and operating models, and technology offers exciting prospects to create a better world. With change comes both opportunity and risk. At Cushman & Wakefield we believe in being proactive about change, challenging our clients to think differently about real estate, and taking ownership of our own destiny. Collectively we have called this response ‘Futures’. Futures is made up of a number of initiatives designed to drive innovation and creativity within our business, and drive an industry conversation around change. For more information on the initiatives we are running to stay ahead of the curve, please visit our website.

INSPIRE

Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) is an essential aspect of good people management at Cushman & Wakefield, both now and in the future. Our new D&I programme known as Inspire highlights diversity in many forms. Our business seeks to create an all-encompassing workplace where staff can truly be themselves and their differences are respected. It's about valuing everyone in the organisation as an individual, who can then reach their full potential. While UK legislation sets minimum standards, Cushman & Wakefield's D&I programme seeks to go beyond legal compliance to add value for its staff and clients and business. The group operates several different committees committed to diversity and inclusion: Gender, LGBTQ, Mental & Physical Health, Work/Life Solutions, Socio-Economic backgrounds and Ethnicity & Culture.

CREATION
We are proud to be a founding partner of CREATION – CREATION is a networking organisation for those at the start of their property career. It is an inclusive network that joins like-minded people together, offering free, interactive property events and networking opportunities. This includes, Quarterly events on current property 'hot topics' (Events won't be your usual CPD - expect fun interactive sessions and discussions), Additional networking and socialising events. Meeting new people in similar situations, and building your own network by interacting with graduates from a range of organisations across the industry from competitor to client.
