The Extra Space Storage team took performance to new heights in 2021, with a record-breaking year in almost every area of the business. From innovative ways to invest capital in self storage to evolving our employee experience, our 2021 Annual Report covers some of the team’s efforts to innovate, implement, and grow.
We seek to improve the employee experience because we believe the best people will deliver the best results. We’re focused on learning and development at all levels to provide our team with fulfilling career paths they can be proud of. Building a varied and talented team is a priority for us today, and will be for decades to come. But don’t take our word for it; here’s what a few of our 4,300 employees have to say.
Our focus on providing growth opportunities and fair compensation helps us retain our outstanding talent. We had a 78% participation rate in our most recent employee engagement survey, and our overall engagement index score was 2% higher than the U.S. average. Employees appreciate our management team’s transparency, encouragement of work-life balance, and ability to motivate everyone to bring their best to work forward.
In the same engagement survey, Extra Space Storage employees replied higher than the U.S. average on diversity and inclusion questions like “Extra Space makes it easy for people from diverse backgrounds to fit in and be accepted” and “I am comfortable voicing my ideas and opinions, even if they are different from others.” In 2021, CEO Joe Margolis joined other top CEOs in America to sign the CEO Action For Diversity and Inclusion Pledge—a commitment to continue workplace conversation about diversity and inclusion.
Our people truly live by the Extra Space Storage core values, and that’s what sets us apart from our competitors. Integrity, Excellence, Innovation, Teamwork, and Passion are at the heart of all we do. These values set the tone for our conduct at work, with customers, and in our communities.
