We think that in an era of digitalization, rapid business transformation and global talent markets people and organizations make a difference. We also strive to make a difference. Empowering clients through close collaboration is in our DNA. We work with integrity and clear ethical standards.

People. Organization. Advisory. Analytics. Four words that capture what we do. We are deeply experienced with a proven track record from leading Nordic and U.S. companies. Our work spans organizations in different stages of life cycle. We mix our Finnish roots with substantial international experience.

We are nimble. We are pragmatic. We are biased to actionable solutions. And we are data-driven. We founded OnWork in 2014, and are based in the Helsinki metro area.

We improve organization performance through people. By leveraging analytics and research, we turn data into actionable insights. Yet for us analytic insights are just the beginning rather than the end: success is measured by actions and lasting results.

We have a proven track-record of cutting-edge analytical work with leading Nordic and Fortune 500 firms, and the capability to tackle even the most challenging people issues facing organizations today. Whether about retention, leadership dynamics, decision and communication flows, team performance, improving systemic understanding of people strategy or something more exotic altogether, chances are we have experience to bring into play. We blend world-class analytic capabilities with a strong grasp of Nordic organizations’ DNA.

We get our hands dirty with data – big, small or messy. People, finance, sales or operations data; almost anything goes. We work with clients taking the first steps, and the ones going for the cutting-edge: in the end the right mindset is what counts. From one-off projects to partnerships to co-sourcing, our engagement models are crafted around client needs. And if resources are needed to drive actions, our Advisory services can help get things done.
