Global Real Estate Workforce Survey (Volume IV)

Released on Jan 15, 2026, the Global Real Estate Workforce Survey (Volume IV) provides insight into how commercial real estate organizations are managing workforce composition, culture, and people practices during a period of significant change for the industry.

Conducted biennially in collaboration with Ferguson Partners and supported by 19 leading commercial real estate associations globally, the Survey examines workforce demographics and internal practices across North America.

Participation in this edition of the Survey was lower than in prior years, reflecting the broader economic, geopolitical, and organizational pressures facing the industry. As a result, only the North America edition is being released publicly.

While the reduced respondent base limits direct comparison with earlier editions, the results offer a meaningful snapshot of how firms are continuing to approach talent, culture, and inclusion amid ongoing industry recalibration.
