From its earliest days, team members understood that every touch point with a client is an opportunity to deliver an exceptional experience and put them at the center of what’s next. Cushman & Wakefield takes great pride in its diverse and inclusive culture, which is one of mutual respect and support.
Notable recent recognitions include being named to both Forbes’ “America’s Best Employers” and “America’s Best Employers for Diversity” 2019 lists, and “Best for Vets Employers 2019” by Military Times, as well as recognition as a “Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality” and a 100 percent on the “Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index 2019.”
