EDUCATING & ENRICHING OUR PEOPLE

As we strive to equip every employee with understanding, language and tools to take the next step in our journey together, we keep several aims in mind as we build our talent pipeline of future leaders:

• Increasing gender and racial or ethnic representation in leadership (VP+) positions and improving ongoing transparency on the progress of our inclusion efforts

• Implementing standardized inclusive recruiting protocols

• Expanding our diversity internship program

• Deploying professional development educational resources

Employee Development

Our properties are high-quality assets — but the real stars are our people. Study after study demonstrates that employees who feel connected and valued are more productive, but far beyond productivity, we recognize that offering appreciation and opportunity to our people creates an atmosphere where teams know their value to our success.

Our employee community brings unique experiences, skilled training and education to the table. We respond accordingly, recognizing that robust training and evolving professional growth opportunities are essential to workforce development and retention. In 2022, Macerich promoted nearly 9% of the workforce to higher roles in their department or helped them take on new responsibilities in other departments.

Employees are given the opportunity to have dialogues with their managers about performance, expectations and job satisfaction and create professional development plans through annual and mid-year reviews. Additionally, Our People and Culture team is available to discuss job opportunities with employees, both within and outside their respective departments, and job openings are posted on our intranet.

PEOPLE PERSPECTIVE: CAREER GROWTH

“I’ve been with Macerich for nearly nine years, starting in IT as a senior business systems analyst and later helping to build out the privacy office. In 2022, my career took a new turn when I accepted a new role as AVP, People & Inclusion. If I had to sum up my career in a few words, I’d choose “data-driven.” With each role I’ve had at Macerich, I’ve been able to apply my analytical mindset to work that has been geared toward implementing change and accelerating progress. I appreciate working at a Company that sees people’s individual talent, passion and aptitude. Macerich works to co-create opportunities alongside employees.”
