Professional Development
Extra Space Storage offers a variety of training and development programs designed to help employees succeed and grow in their roles. Our onboarding experience helps set new team members up for success by preparing them for the responsibilities of their positions. Ongoing training provides employees with timely feedback and support, highlighting areas of success and opportunity. Our teams are actively engaged in and committed to supporting employee growth and professional development across the organization.
We are deeply committed to talent and leadership development as part of our broader company strategy. Employees progressing through the company have access to a wide range of development opportunities, including job shadowing programs, Individual Development Plans (IDPs), targeted skill-building courses, mentorship engagements, real-time coaching for difficult conversations, and more. Our Job Shadow Program provides employees with exposure to different functions across the business. This cross-training initiative allows participants to engage in a series of “day-in-the-life” experiences, gaining valuable insight into roles outside their own. Our Skill Enhancement and Employee Development (SEED) program is designed to support personalized professional growth of our team. SEED offers a tailored development experience through an IDP that aligns with each participant’s unique goals. Depending on individual objectives, participants may gain exposure to different departments and interact with leaders across the organization. At the pinnacle of our training efforts are two flagship initiatives: the Leadership Development Program (LDP) and the Executive Development Program (EDP). These high-impact programs are designed to build leadership bench strength and promote internal advancement.

This year, we successfully launched Axonify as our new learning management system, reinforcing our commitment to scalable, high-impact employee development. Through short daily microlearning reinforced by gamification, Axonify has driven consistent engagement while improving knowledge retention across our store manager and call center teams. The platform leverages AI to deliver personalized training at the right moment, ensuring employees receive relevant content aligned to their role, performance, and real time needs. In parallel, we fully redesigned our District Manager onboarding program, creating a more structured and immersive experience that better equips our people to lead teams, drive performance, and deliver exceptional customer experiences from day one.
Engagement Analytics
Our talent profile is further defined by the high levels of engagement and commitment reported by our team members across the organization. We evaluate employee engagement through a comprehensive annual engagement survey that measures key performance indicators including employee satisfaction, employee views of management, inclusion, and numerous other categories of employee engagement. Survey insights are reviewed by leadership each year and used to guide updates to policies, practices, and people strategies. In 2025, the survey achieved a participation rate of 93%, with an overall employee satisfaction score of 76%, surpassing the U.S. overall average by 4%. By grounding action planning in employee data, we strengthen accountability and ensure our approach to engagement evolves in step with business performance.
In addition to internal survey results, Extra Space reviews external employee feedback from platforms such as Glassdoor. Based on thousands of reviews, Extra Space Storage holds a 4.2 out of 5 star rating, which is 11.8% above the real estate industry average. This external benchmark complements our internal engagement data and provides added insight into employee satisfaction and workplace experience.
