We strive to be the employer of choice in our industry. We maintain a work environment that attracts, welcomes and retains highly talented individuals. We encourage and enable them to succeed, treating our people fairly and rewarding their contributions.
How do we promote equality and diversity?
• Valuing differences – It is a business imperative to look like the clients we serve and the communities in which we live and work. We have therefore created a culture in which people of different backgrounds and points of view are valued and integral to how we collaborate and deliver the best work to our clients.
• Decentralized – Given that we operate in nearly 60 countries, we intentionally leave workplace diversity initiatives decentralized so that they can align with different cultural norms and so we can establish programs that will incorporate the different parts of our diverse workforce.
• Attracting diverse talent – We make a concerted effort to attract diverse candidates for job openings by partnering with organizations dedicated to increasing diversity in our industry and holding managers accountable for hiring diverse teams.
How do we recruit and retain the best people?
• Recruitment – We recruit the highest caliber of individuals by offering them a competitive, challenging and rewarding working environment. Retaining experienced, talented professionals over the long term is our priority as this is far less expensive than having to replace them frequently.
• Training and development – Our approach to CSR combines Human Resources initiatives with Jones Lang LaSalle’s Sustainability University, which offers a training platform and development opportunities for those around the Firm who want a basic – or sophisticated – understanding of sustainability. For a self paced e-learning module developed by Sustainability University see here.
• Remuneration and benefits – We offer our employees a range of incentives and rewards customized to local market conditions. These include award winning pensions, bonus schemes and access to our Sharesave Scheme.
• Employee engagement – Our global Employee Engagement Survey helps us understand issues around satisfaction and how our employees view the future of the business. We use the results of the surveys to inform future decision making and help us maintain the excellent high standard of employees.
• Ethics and trust – We believe the best people want to work for socially responsible organizations they trust and respect. This is a key driver behind our CSR strategy. Our key principles are outlined in the Code of Business Ethics.
How do we foster a healthy and safe work environment?
• Safety in the workplace – We are committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace and to ensuring that our staff, our clients and our service providers are not placed at risk by our activities. In support of robust, global health and safety standards, we apply best practices across our own and client operations as necessary.
• Balanced work-life and wellbeing – We also understand that our employees lead full lives outside the office. Jones Lang LaSalle therefore has a strong commitment to help our people balance the work-life relationship, including the promotion of flexible working practices and access to wellbeing programs customized to local markets.
