Despite strong brand recognition, HVAC Technicians didn’t feel a strong sense of "belonging" to the company’s culture. A complex application process and a passive market made talent acquisition challenging.

- Research-Led: We conducted 12 focus groups to tap into the "fixer" pride that Technicians feel.
- Strategic Talent Value Proposition: We rebranded roles as "elite agents" on a mission and deployed this messaging via Spotify, social media, and digital-out-of-home platforms.
- Tech-Enabled: We simplified the candidate journey by creating a bespoke landing page and utilizing "Tech Ambassadors" for instant engagement.

- 50% faster time-to-offer.

Great minds don’t always think alike - and that is our greatest strength. 🧠✨ At AMS, we don’t just see neurodiversity as a human imperative; we see it as an advantage.

As we mark Neurodiversity Celebration Week 2026, we are moving beyond awareness and into inclusive action. We know that when barriers are removed, talent performs.

Whether it’s through creativity, hyper-focus, or alternative problem-solving, our neurodivergent colleagues bring the fresh perspectives that drive world-class innovation.

Our Blueprint for an Inclusive Future:
- Belonging over Assimilation: We believe no one should have to change who they are to succeed. We celebrate lived experience and value how people think, rather than asking them to conform to a single "norm."

- Action over Awareness: From inclusive interview practices to our reasonable adjustment toolkits, we are embedding accessibility into the entire talent lifecycle.

- Strength in Variation: With 15-20% of the population identifying as neurodivergent, we recognise these differences as natural variations that strengthen team performance.

Celebrating Lived Experience šŸŒŽ
This week, we are proud to host an internal global panel discussion, where our colleagues will be sharing their personal journeys—from navigating a diagnosis to balancing work and home life. This is to remind us that many challenges aren't about "deficits," but about the environments we build.

At AMS, we are committed to building an environment where every mind is empowered to succeed.

How do you manage a growing workforce when 89% of your contingent spend is "invisible"? One leading financial institution with a footprint across the Americas faced this exact challenge. šŸŒŽ

As the bank’s contingent workforce grew, the lack of centralized governance created a "black hole" in visibility. This led to fragmented processes, supplier sprawl with over 200 vendors, and significant compliance risks.

The AMS Solution: A Deep-Dive Diagnostic
After conducting a holistic diagnostic with over 60 stakeholders to build a sustainable roadmap, we analyzed Statement of Work (SOW) engagements for hidden risks, developed a Target Operating Model (TOM) and cost-savings playbook, and recommended technology upgrades to replace legacy systems.

The Impact: Strategic Clarity & Massive Savings
- $10 Million+ in identified annual cost-saving opportunities.
- 85% Potential Reduction in supplier count.
- 88.6% Centralization: Moving from just 11% managed spend to a nearly fully centralized model.
- Strengthened Compliance: Enhanced reporting and risk controls to protect the organization.
