Global real estate services firm Cushman & Wakefield has been awarded a special prize in this year’s Friendly Workplace competition in recognition of its HR policy and respect for work-life balance.

“As a global company, we want not only to follow the latest market trends, but also to develop our own innovative solutions to further improve the working and living environment for our employees,” said Kinga Bloch, Partner, HR Director, Cushman & Wakefield.

Friendly Workplace is an Employer Branding competition whose concept was formed by the editorial board of Marka Pracodawcy. Prizes are awarded to firms for their modern solutions in HR and employee development policies. Selected organisations receive a special prize comprising an emblem, a statuette or a diploma. Marka Pracodawcy awards points in five categories: employee relations, employee development, work-life balance, healthy workplace and benefits. Marka Pracodawcy seeks to recognise particularly winners’ commitment to creating a friendly work environment.

Cushman & Wakefield won 23 points out of a possible 25 for its solutions supporting employees in maintaining a work-life balance.

Cushman & Wakefield promotes work-life balance through its flexible work model. Employees enjoy the flexibility of working hours tailored to their individual productivity peaks and an opportunity to work remotely, which helps them balance work and life. In rolling out this model, global real estate services firm Cushman & Wakefield emphasized the importance of partnership and trust in employee relations and enabling its staff to maintain a healthy and balanced lifestyle.
