CBRE's Workplace 360 Program Designed to Promote Team Work

Read the entire CBRE 2013 Corporate Responsibility Report

Though CBRE has long supported work flexibility for our employees, we formalized this practice in 2013 by adding specific policies for flexible work arrangements and tele- commuting. These policies make it easier for employees to find a work situation that best suits their working style, and they facilitate the conversations employees and managers should have to come to an agreement on a work sched- ule. Our flexible work arrangements allow employees a number of options, such as four 10-hour days, or general flextime. The telecommuting policy provides guidelines for employees working offsite three or more days per week on a regular basis. We also have many employees who telecommute infrequently, and their arrangements are worked out with their managers outside of the policy. Currently, more than 750 employees telecommute under the formal arrangement. 

Our Workplace360 work strategy, which we continue to roll out to CBRE offices worldwide, is a more collaborative environment that is designed to support and encourage team-based work. Workplace360 optimizes the use of office space; is a more energetic, inspirational workplace that helps our employees connect to our organizational culture; reinforces our brand philosophy; is reflective of our leadership in our industry; and serves as a tool to help us attract and retain the best talent. It’s about understand- ing how people really work and how creating a great space can make a difference. This includes implementa- tion of features such as office-for-a-day setups, paperless operations and open floor plans. Workplace360 gives employees a great deal of autonomy and flexibility in the way they work. Instead of being confined to one, static work location, employees have options for telecommut- ing, collaboration areas and more.
