Real Estate Balance industry EDI survey 2022

We have published the results of our 2022 survey – the most comprehensive study of EDI in the property industry. 

Key findings include:

  • The gender gap between middle management and senior leadership has not only persisted but worsened since our first survey in 2016.
  • Companies report improvement in embedding the Real Estate Balance CEO Commitments on Diversity, with the greatest improvement in diversity data gathering, tracking and reporting.
  • Both companies and employees agree that social mobility, gender and ethnicity are the biggest DEI challenges facing the real estate industry.
  • Hybrid working has been positive for employee work-life balance, mental health and productivity, but makes accessing development opportunities and connecting with colleagues more challenging. Overall, men see hybrid working more negatively than women.
