Cushman & Wakefield Earns 2026 Military Friendly® Employer Designation, Expands Veteran Initiatives Nationwide

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cushman & Wakefield (NYSE: CWK) announced today that the real estate services firm ranked sixth in the Top Ten 2026 Military Friendly® Employers with revenue over $5 billion for its meaningful efforts to recruit, retain and develop veteran talent in the U.S. The firm has now been recognized as a Top Ten Military Friendly® Employer for four consecutive years, and a Military Friendly® Employer for eight consecutive years.

“Veterans exemplify the discipline, leadership and teamwork that drive success in our business and our culture,” said Bruce Mosler, Chairman of Global Brokerage. “Their ability to adapt, lead, and problem-solve strengthens our teams and deepens the service we deliver to clients. We’re proud to continue growing a workplace where veterans thrive and we remain steadfast in our mission to empower veterans, build our workforce, and honor the enduring values of service and excellence that define both the U.S. military and our organization.”

Cushman & Wakefield currently employs more than 1,450 veterans across its U.S. operations, with plans to hire an additional 600 veterans this year. The firm partners with leading organizations such as 50Strong, Hiring Our Heroes, Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, Boulder Crest Foundation, and Patrol Base Abbate to advance veteran recruitment, transition assistance, and well-being initiatives.

Cushman & Wakefield has dedicated leadership, resources, personnel, and programs to attract and engage post-military careerists. The firm’s Department of Defense SkillBridge, Military Spouse Employment Partnerships, and Veteran Hiring Programs are recognized as best in class and have been shared with more than 300 companies nationwide as a model for effective post-military career pathways.

“In 2025, the United States commemorates the 250th anniversary of the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps - an enduring legacy of service, discipline, and excellence,” added Matt Disher, Executive Director, Military & Veterans Programs. “Cushman & Wakefield proudly honors this milestone as we continue to champion post-military talent across our organization. As we continue to hire and engage veterans, our clients will directly benefit from our veteran team members. In addition, with our help, they can also effectively recruit and engage this top talent themselves.”

“Veterans are a vital part of Cushman & Wakefield’s continued success,” added Mosler. “Their strategic thinking, adaptability, and teamwork strengthen every aspect of our business. This recognition underscores our ongoing commitment to providing meaningful opportunities for military professionals and their families and to honoring their service every day of the year.”

Institutions earning the Military Friendly® Employers designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. More than 1,200 companies participated in the 2025 survey conducted by VIQTORY, a service-disabled, veteran-owned small business that connects the military community to civilian opportunities.

“Organizations earning the Military Friendly® Employers designation have wholeheartedly invested in comprehensive and impactful initiatives that bring about positive, life-changing results for our valued service members, dedicated military spouses, and esteemed veterans within their ranks,” said Kayla Lopez, Senior Director of Military Partnerships at Military Friendly®. “We salute these exemplary employers who raise the bar and understand that hiring military personnel is not merely an act of goodwill but a testament to sound business wisdom.”
