Throughout the Great Resignation and its newest expression, “quiet quitting,” we’ve continued to work on cultivating a people-first culture in which the talented professionals that make up our team feel supported, seen, and heard.

 

To name just a few of the initiatives we’ve launched in recent years to advance their well-being:

 

·     In 2020, following the Black Lives Matter protests, we designed and implemented a Valuing Differences learning series to foster dialogue and inclusion company-wide.

 

·     In 2021, we established a Tuition Reimbursement Program in support of our employees’ professional development, an Employee Stock Purchase Program that provides an additional avenue for financial planning towards retirement, and a Peakon Workday Employee Voice pulse survey platform to open a direct line of communication and feedback from our team to our leadership.

 

·     This year, to promote allyship and collaboration, we launched six Employee Resource Groups for our communities of women, LGBTQ+, Military and Veterans, Black and African American, Asian American and Pacific Islander, and Latino/a employees.   

 

As we celebrate our tenth year as an employer, we’re heartened in these efforts by our recent recognition on the Fortune 2022 Best Workplaces in Real Estate™ list, released earlier this week. While the work of remaining a top employer in the industry is never done, we’re motivated to know that we’re on the right track.
