Characteristic 1: Sustain a work environment founded on dignity and respect for all employees.
CBRE
CBRE’s RISE Corporate Values – Respect, Integrity, Service and Excellence – continue to be the foundation of its work environment and culture, and are incorporated into everything it does. Accountability for leading and maintaining its desired environment and culture starts at the top. Executives role model expected behaviors and attitudes. The company strives to be known as an employer of choice and a place where its diverse workforce feels valued and respected.
To create that sense of belonging among its employees, CBRE sponsors a variety of networking groups. The annual meeting of its Women’s Networking Forum typically draws more than 200 attendees representing professionals from every business area of the company as well as participation from senior leaders.
CBRE’s African American Network Group (AANG) also meets each year. The conference helps AANG members and supporters discuss best practices, network and advance AANG's goals of recruitment and retention, receive career coaching from senior leaders, and share information during roundtable discussions.
For its newer Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Networking Group, CBRE has formed a leadership committee, developed online resources and communication channels, addressed relevant partnership benefits, and modified its Equal Opportunity Statement to include gender identity as a factor for non discrimination.
CBRE’s support of its veteran employees is worth noting as a final example of how the company shows respect for its employees. As home to more than 900 US service men and women, CBRE has been recognized by both Military Spouse and GI Jobs magazines as a military-friendly employer. The company has a veteran mentoring program with the Veterans Administration. The six-month program allows military veterans to work alongside CBRE professionals in each of its business lines, aiding the veterans in transferring their military skills into private sector careers.
