Core Values

We believe the best workplaces are built with input from the people who power them. That’s why our core values were created by a cross-section of our team, representing diverse roles, perspectives, and lived experiences.

These five values shape how we collaborate, support, and inspire our clients and each other:

Safety

We are committed to living safely, working safely, and inspiring those around us to do the same.

People

We invest in our people, foster a collaborative and inclusive environment, and recognize that diversity makes us stronger.

Impact

We are passionate about building a better tomorrow for our employees, clients, communities, and the environment.

Responsibility

We hold ourselves and one another accountable to the highest professional, ethical, and business standards and own what we do.

Excellence

We cultivate excellence through creativity, grit, innovation, and teamwork.

Putting people first isn’t just a soundbite, but rather our commitment to maintaining a culture that our leaders and staff members value, embrace, and protect. We commit ourselves to an environment that facilitates growth, opportunity, and comfort for everyone. This, along with operating safely, taking ownership of our work, being accountable to one another, and delivering exceptional value to our clients, is how we strive to live and operate as a firm, every day.

Wellness Coach, a digital platform designed to empower employees to achieve work-life balance through a variety of tools and courses, is offered to all Apex employees at no cost. We conduct annual wellness challenges to encourage our team to focus on areas such as fitness, meditation, and emotional well‑being.

At Apex, everything starts with the talent, capacity, and commitment of our people, and as such we remain steadfast in maintaining an environment and culture that encourages and enables our employees to realize their best selves.

Our approach

Employee Networks

Six Apex volunteers work together in Metrocaring aprons, demonstrating Apex's DEI commitment to promoting community.

Employee Networks are employer-sponsored networks or groups of employees that form based on a shared characteristic or background. These groups allow employees with commonalities to meet, support each other, and produce a particular outcome that can help improve the business and job satisfaction. Voluntarily led by employees, these groups advocate for themselves. However, in addition to fostering their own professional development, they often become a valuable resource to employers by providing information about a group’s identities and needs, and by performing community outreach, opening new networks for recruiting, supporting business objectives, and serving as a visible sign of an employers’ commitment to a diverse and inclusive workplace. They also serve as an empowering and safe avenue for employees to express themselves and seek support within an organization.

Apex currently has seven active Employee Networks and is looking for sponsors internally to establish new Employee Networks:

  • Administrative Community—offers a support network for those in administrative roles at Apex, their champions, and advocates, or for those who are interested in connecting further with Apex’s administrative community.
  • BIPOC—fosters inclusivity and professional growth, amplifying voices and advocating for positive workplace changes to empower BIPOC employees and create a thriving, diverse organization.
  • Emerging Professionals—for those who are at earlier stages in their professional careers (regardless of age) and those who want to provide support and mentorship to this community of employees.
  • Mapping Professionals—for employees who work in this discipline, want to learn more about GIS/CAD, and are supportive of a community of practice at Apex.
  • Pride—for those who wish to provide and promote LGBTQIA2S+ visibility among staff and management related to current workplace and social issues that affect the LGBTQIA2S+ community.
  • Wellness Alliance—for all who want to help remove the stigma around mental health and provide resources and support for optimal mental health for Apex employees.
  • Women’s Leadership Alliance—for individuals who want to support and learn more about empowering women to grow personally and professional at Apex.
