The DNA of work
The world of work is changing. The key to success lies in harnessing your DNA of work.
We are the leading global independent consultancy transforming the world of work. We use science, research and our depth of experience to deliver exceptional results for exceptional companies.
Since 1992, our founders have been intrigued with how science and research can transform the world of work. This early fascination spread to working with like- minded people and the birth of Advanced Workplace Associates, now known as AWA. From the very beginning the DNA of work has been the connection between us all.
We transform the world of work for the better. It’s in our DNA.
