Berkadia's Employee Resource Groups

Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs,  BeWIN, BePROUD+ and BeUNITED, are voluntary, employee-led groups that create a safe space for employees to share ideas and foster opportunities to learn about each other’s cultures, backgrounds and experiences.

BeWin: Berkadia's Women's ERG

BeWIN’s mission is to develop, mentor and promote initiatives that focus on the diverse women’s community and allies at Berkadia to support career growth and advancement. Their purpose is to facilitate the development and maturation of strong connections, and support women across the company, while creating a safe place for women to grow in their CRE careers.

BeProud+: Berkadia's LGBTQ+ ERG

BeUnited: Berkadia's Multicultural ERG

BeUNITED’s purpose is to create a network focused on empowering, connecting, developing, and supporting​​​​​​​ employees regardless of race, ethnicity, or nationality thus resulting in a stronger, united workforce.

Berkadia Way

Our culture, or Berkadia Way as we know it, encourages us to truly see people as people, with unique needs, challenges, and objectives. We take this into consideration when working with each other, engaging our clients, and supporting our communities. Thus, instilling a mindset that fosters our shared commitment to self-accountability helps us see our impact on each other and adjust our efforts accordingly. Diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging is at the core of this mindset, and we believe that we are uniquely positioned to meet current and future aspirations because of it.

BERKADIA ONE FORUM

In March 2023, Berkadians, clients, and partners gathered in Charleston, South Carolina for our inaugural Berkadia ONE Forum. This industry-leading event was designed to promote the interests of minority-led commercial real estate firms and executives of color through engaging discussions and energizing activities.

“It was the first time that I had been in a space with my peers where we could have meaningful conversations about some of the challenges we shared.”

Daryl Jones, The Integral Group
