2026 CREW Network Industry Research Paper Launch

Gain insight into the opportunities and challenges of remote, hybrid, and flexible work

Organizations and companies across the world have embraced remote and hybrid work as part of their business model. In commercial real estate (CRE), many companies offer alternative work arrangements from fully remote offices to hybrid opportunities. While these are new norms of the modern workplace, are more flexible arrangements supporting or stalling women’s advancement in the industry? 

Join us for a first look at the latest industry research by CREW Network, the leading producer of research on gender and diversity in CRE. According to the 2025 CREW Network Benchmark Study Report, CRE professionals spent 56% of their time in the office last year, with women working remotely more than men. Just over half of the women (53%) reported increased productivity tied to flexible work arrangements, but in-office employees tended to receive more promotions than their remote or hybrid counterparts. 

This 30-minute webinar will present key findings from the paper, including: 

• how hybrid and remote work options can benefit women and all professionals in CRE 

• case studies from CRE companies across the globe 

• how companies can rise to the challenge of hybrid work—and benefit from it 

• how women can leverage flexible work arrangements while also building a strong professional network and prioritizing career advancement  

• ways to leverage this research in your CREW chapter, market, or company
