Experience per SF

Experience per SF™ is Cushman & Wakefield’s proprietary tool that gives you insight into the engagement and experience of your workforce.

Whether you occupy space to provide your employees a great place to work or own and develop space to offer to organizations, XSF provides precise, actionable, and data-driven clarity into what brings people to the office, provides them with a great experience, and enables them to do their best work as a healthy, engaged, productive and happy part of the workforce.  

WHAT XSF DOES: 

  • Measures the employee experience 
  • Uncovers experience drivers
  • Identifies investment opportunities that have the largest impact
  • Helps companies align resources with employee engagement and business goals 
Today it feels like there are more questions than answers about the future of the office. Two things are certain: one, the office has a critical role to play in both employee and company competitive advantage; two, now more than ever data-driven insights are imperative for leaders navigating the flexible and ever-changing nature of work. 

Designed by psychology, workplace, human resources, and research professionals, XSF helps the best companies design outstanding experiences that support employee productivity, wellbeing, retention, engagement, and connection to company culture. As part of the offering, XSF scores employees' workplace experience and benchmarks performance, providing valuable insight to drive workplace, portfolio optimization, and policy decisions. 

XSF HELPS COMPANIES: 

Retain employees and attract top talent 
In highly competitive labor markets, winning the war for talent often means the difference between a business thriving or just surviving. Improving your workspace by optimizing the workplace experience will give you a leg up. 

Improve operational efficiency 

You’ll have a solid business case to make strategic moves quicker and with more assurance. 

Improve employee engagement 
Our repeatable, data-rich process will allow you to measure the impact of actions taken and drive employee engagement. 

Bolster employee productivity 

Our program allows you to identify under-engaged employees by market, job function, business unit or any other factor to target your actions to the areas that will have the greatest impact on productivity. 

Increase the bottom line 
Driving the optimal employee engagement platform also includes identifying over-performing areas and redistributing those funds to areas that will drive financial results. 

XSF ENHANCES CRE VALUE: 

XSF helps you achieve excellence through quantitative employee sentiment insight in each of these CRE strategic areas and as a result, helps CRE strengthen its contribution to these critical company objectives: 

Optimize Location and Portfolio Strategy
