• technology upgrades
• diversity and inclusion policy development
• health and wellness program enhancements
• commuter challenges
• corporate social responsibility reporting
• sustainability targets
• and more

If you’re not sure where to start, start with AWE.

• Program design, implementation and management
• Flexible work request intake, eligibility, arrangements, technology “kit of parts,” electronic work style profiling

• Triple bottom line, program impact analysis and reporting
• Scenario modelling as predictors of program success

7. AWE Champions Diversity and Inclusion

AWE believes that diversity and inclusion are integral to every agile work environment.

Whether it’s work-life balance, caregiving, parenting, accessibility, self-care, wellness, or cultural expression, we are all more productive when our work arrangements and workplaces support a healthy lifestyle and provide inspiration.
