Real Estate Balance (Associate Partner)

The business case for diversity and inclusion is stronger than ever – organisations perform best when they employ diverse talent. Yet for diversity to truly flourish, it needs to be treated as a strategic, business-critical priority that’s supported at the very top of an organisation and integrated throughout.

With a particular focus on gender, ethnicity and social mobility, REB works at all levels of the property industry, offering a range of programmes, campaigns and events that help leaders accelerate progress on diversity, support middle managers to create inclusive workplace cultures, and empower the next generation of leaders to unlock their potential and thrive.

Its members are at different stages in their journey towards diversity. Some have more advanced policies and are setting the standards for best practice. Others are just starting out and are still grappling with difficult issues. Whatever the situation, what unites members is a vision of an industry that’s fairer, better-balanced and more equitable for everyone.
