Building an Inclusive Culture Where All Colleagues Can Lead and Thrive

At Cushman & Wakefield, inclusivity is foundational to how the firm operates and delivers value for clients. The company is committed to creating an environment where all colleagues are empowered to grow their careers and perform at the highest level. This inclusive culture shapes how teams are led, how collaboration happens across geographies and disciplines, and how the firm shows up for clients and communities every day.

Women play a visible and influential role in leadership and decision making across the organization. Today, women represent 70% of Cushman & Wakefield’s Board of Directors, and as highlighted in the firm’s 2024 Sustainability Report, women comprise 53% of executives, 43% of people managers and 39% of the total workforce. These figures reflect a sustained focus on building a workplace where leadership opportunities are accessible and advancement is supported at every stage of a career.

This commitment is reinforced by external recognition that reflects the strength of the firm’s culture and the experiences of its people. Cushman & Wakefield has been named one of Forbes’ America’s Best Employers for Women, Newsweek’s America’s Greatest Workplaces for Women and Forbes’ America’s Best Employers for Company Culture. Together, these recognitions underscore the firm’s focus on fostering an environment where inclusion is embedded in how talent is attracted, developed and retained.

A core part of the firm’s approach is equipping employees with the tools, resources and support needed to succeed. Central to advancing this work is the Women’s Integrated Network (WIN), an employee‑led resource group created to develop and support the talents of women across Cushman & Wakefield. WIN provides a platform that values varied perspectives, strengthens leadership capabilities and fosters meaningful connections across all areas of the organization. Its vision is to accelerate the advancement of women by creating opportunities for engagement, development and collaboration.

WIN’s objectives are designed to support women throughout their careers while reinforcing an inclusive workplace. The network focuses on providing communication, organizational and development support; attracting and retaining top female talent; furthering professional development through educational opportunities; acknowledging and celebrating the accomplishments of women across the firm; and continuing to advance gender equality. Through these efforts, WIN helps ensure that women have the resources, networks and visibility needed to lead, grow and make a lasting impact.

As Cushman & Wakefield continues to invest in its people and culture, inclusivity remains a central priority. The firm remains focused on building a workplace where leadership is accessible and all employees have the opportunity to help shape the future of the organization and the industry.
