AWA help large organisations get the most from their people and workplace assets. We use our own Advanced Working Concepts to achieve this, which can be broken down into:
Advanced Working: A way of working that uses IT to let people and organisations choose the best places, times and ways to work both in and out of the office.
Advanced Workplace: A workplace scientifically designed to give people and organisations the right spaces to do their best work and the services, technology and practices to support organisational flexibility.
Advanced Workplace Management: The structures, processes and skills needed to maintain and consistently deliver an effective workplace experience at best cost.
What Advanced Working can do for an organisation:
- Increase the number of people who can work from a typical office building by 20-30% by sharing workspace in the office with colleagues instead of 'owning it (most workplaces are only occupied 45% of the time they are available and they are only available some 60 hours out of a possible 168 that they are being paid for)
- Enable better cross functional team working and relationships by letting people from different teams work in the same physical areas when they need to. People who have adopted Advanced Working tell us that us that they get to know more colleagues.
- Enable easy, rapid and cost free re-organisation of teams and individuals. It costs approximately £400 to move an individual from one place to another in a building, requires 'swing space' and users have to wait takes too long for it to happen.
- Make for happier staff where commuting can be reduced for those with jobs and circumstances that don't need to work in the office every day. 50% of staff in our studies say that given the chance, they would like to work 1-2 days week at home.
- Helps people be at their most productive best every day by providing the right combination of spaces 'tuned' to their needs. People who have adopted Advanced Working tell us that they are more productive because they have the right places for the tasks they perform, they are more disciplined and plan better.
