QAT is built around a very interactive management structure. Our goal is to keep management focused on running the business and not adhering to a managerial hierarchy. We believe this provides a culture of synergy where employees have an opportunity to work with management and vice versa. Although we have policies and procedures in place to provide consistency amongst our staff we try and manage by doing what “Feels Right”. The flattening of the management hierarchy puts more responsibility on our employees for innovation. QAT has a "Royalty Program" to encourage and reward innovative ideas from our employees. If an employee develops an idea for a new technical product or service that QAT can market, the employee is eligible to receive royalty payments on our sales. The fostering of innovation from all levels within our organization is just one fundamental value that is critical to our success and culture.

QAT encourages employees to base their professional direction and energy on a core set of Values. The internalization of these values ensures that we portray to our customers and professional peers the same message and attitude regardless of who communicates it. Each member of staff from executive management to junior consultant know that the following basic tenets are vital for success:

• Innovation is rewarded from all levels of the organization.
• QAT is synonymous with professionalism. Employees and clients alike can expect to be treated with dignity and respect. We will not forget for whom we work.
• QAT provides exceptional value. Our customers can expect more from a QAT consultant than from one of our competitors. 
• Clients are trusted friends. One of the best feelings we can have in our professional lives is when a client refers to QAT in the “We” tense. QAT strives to earn this honor by helping our partners solve their business problems through pragmatic, innovative and cost effective means.
• Family is first. A rewarding professional career is an important part to the makeup of who we are as human beings. However, QAT understands that the underlying reason for work is to provide for our families. As such, we consider our people not only to be the heart and soul of the products and services we offer to our clients but also as fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters part of a much larger picture.
