GROWING WITH THEIR PEOPLE JLL places emphasis on a work
culture that develops and rewards talent. Employees are empowered to
take control of their own learning using the extensive amount of skill-
based trainings, leadership developments, as well as digital learning
platforms that allows employees to learn more at anytime and anywhere.
Besides formal training, JLL invests in developing future-ready
capabilities for the organisation.

The JLL Explorer Exchange program gives employees the chance to
experience a cultural exchange between countries across the globe,
where employees can e[perience fi rst-hand cultural learnings, share
best practices, and expand their professional views.

The recent JLL Hackathon on property technology is an example of
how employees are given opportunities to re-engineer innovative
solutions for their clients and their people.

Their “Lunch and Learn”, and “Chat” sessions give employees the
opportunity to interact with each other across all seniorities. From top-
down to bottom-up, JLL believes this is a perfect platform to create a
safe working environment where you’re comfortable, fulfi lled, and free
to express opinions.

well-being of their people is of utmost importance. To support their
employees in Shanghai, they have designed a new co-working space,
complete with gym facilities and a cafe. The design is a refl ection of the
future of work and has incorporated the 7 elements of well-being criteria
(mind, comfort, fi tness, light, air, water, nourishment), defi ned by the

the property digital transformation, JLL is aware that their success has
been built upon their peoples’ ability to adapt, innovate and disrupt. Their
commitment to continually invest in its people in order to create a diverse

mix of their personal and
professional life.
“I have two daughters- they are fi nishing school
in a few years and I want
them to come into a work environment like JLL, where diversity and
inclusion are encouraged. So I need to walk the talk and encourage
leaders to deliver positive changes. This is important for the future
success of both colleagues and the fi rm.”
— KK Fung, Managing Director, Greater China
CARING FOR THE COMMUNITY Commitment to the
community is something JLL does not downplay. Having achieved
a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s
Corporate Equality Index, JLL walks the talk in their zero-tolerance
approach to unethical behaviour, and take careful steps to ensure
it does not happen anywhere in their own business or their people
across the globe.
They also recognise the importance of giving back to the
community they benefi t from. In China, they send teams down
to rural areas and villages to spend time with children, donate
books, and make meaningful contributions to enrich the lives of the
villagers. Employees are also encouraged to take time out of their
day to help the less-privileged.
