Welcome to the Access Group Research Hub
As a provider of business software solutions that deliver better ways of working, we are always seeking to understand how people work, how they want to work, and how organisations can better enable their people with the freedom to do more.
Our latest piece of research sought to establish if there was a way in which Australian organisations could better deliver on both profits and long-term prosperity. Read on to learn more about what we discovered in our Powering Profits and Prosperity research, and to download our latest report.

Powering Profits and Prosperity
Brand new research from the Access Group
“To prosper over time, every company must not only deliver financial performance, but also show how it makes a positive contribution to society.” - Larry Fink, CEO of Blackrock, the world’s largest asset manager.
Achieving sustainable, long-term growth has long been a strategic consideration for organisations. Profits matter, but so does societal, environmental and personal well-being. But to what degree do each of these combine to create a sum that is greater than its individual parts?
We sought to understand exactly how much these other factors matter when it comes to business focus, and how well Australian organisations were performing against these. And ultimately, we sought to establish if there was a way in which organisations could better deliver on those elements in the name of profits and long-term prosperity.
We believe there’s an answer, and it lies in how people approach their work. That is, through the implementation of an autonomous working style, organisations can enable people to shape their work and work environment to achieve the goals they are set. So, what did our research uncover?
