CHICAGO – November 12, 2024 – Cushman & Wakefield has ranked fifth in the Top Ten 2025 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 Military Friendly® Top 10 Employer for three consecutive years, and a Military Friendly® Employer for seven consecutive years.
The firm was also named a Military Friendly® Spouse Employer, ranking eighth for 2025, recognizing the firm’s commitment to helping military spouse employees have fulfilling careers. This is the firm’s third consecutive Top 10 Military Friendly® Spouse Employer award.
Military Friendly® is the standard that measures an organization’s commitment, effort and success in creating sustainable and meaningful benefits for the community of active duty, reserves, guard, veterans and their spouses.
