Association for Project Management is the only chartered membership organisation for the project profession in the world. Established in 1972, the organisation has grown significantly from its humble beginnings, now boasting over 40,000 individual members, nearly 500 Corporate Partners, and employing more than 130 individuals. Association for Project Management is firmly committed to equality, diversity and inclusion, as demonstrated by its creation of community groups such as the Caring Community, which provides support to those with unique needs like carers or people affected by the menopause.

Association for Project Management also demonstrates a deep commitment to the wellbeing of its employees, allocating a wellbeing day each year for staff to focus on self-care and personal growth. This is further supported by its provision of one day each year for employees to volunteer for a cause of their choice.

Learning and development are at the heart of Association for Project Management, evident in the training programme which provides all staff with the opportunity to gain a project management qualification. The organisation also promotes knowledge sharing through regular sessions on a range of work-related subjects, delivered by staff, for staff.

Association for Project Management has created a supportive environment for its employees, as shown by initiatives like the menopause community of interest group and the introduction of menopause "rescue baskets". The organisation's commitment to its staff's wellbeing is clear in its implementation of regular wellbeing coffee mornings, mindfulness sessions, and resources made available on key wellness days.

Quote from the top...
An organisation’s biggest asset is its people and investing in our workforce is something we hold in high regard at APM. In comparison to many other organisations, we have sought to have a generous hybrid working offering to help people have the flexibility they need between home and work. We continue to champion DEIB (diversity, equality, inclusion and belonging) and to provide opportunities for career development and professional growth wherever we can. We are extremely proud to be an employer of choice and we hope to do even more in the near future.
