The feeling that it includes workforce after award (12)
I believe the answer is:
presentiment
'the feeling' is the definition.
(presentiment is a kind of feeling)
'it includes workforce after award' is the wordplay.
'includes' is an insertion indicator.
'workforce' becomes 'men'.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'award' becomes 'present' ('present' can be a synonym of 'award'**).
'it' going around 'men' is 'iment'.
'iment' put after 'present' is 'PRESENTIMENT'.
'that' is the link.
(Other definitions for presentiment that I've seen before include "Intuitive foreboding" , "bad feeling" , "An intuitive feeling" , "Feeling of apprehension" .)
