Association for Project Management is a chartered membership organisation for the project profession. Founded in 1972 with 78 members at the time of its first official meeting, today the organisation has over 37,000 individual members, nearly 500 Corporate Partners, and over 120 employees.

Association for Project Management is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. Its Caring Community initiative has established community groups for staff with unique needs, such as carers or people affected by the menopause.

Employees are entitled to a wellbeing day every year which they can dedicate to something that improves their mental health, and they are allocated one day each year to spend volunteering for a cause of their choice.

Employees also have the opportunity for continuous personal and professional development through a training programme that ensures that all staff can gain a project management qualification. In addition to this, Association for Project Management provides regular knowledge-share sessions on a range of work related subjects that are delivered for staff, by staff. This gives employees the chance to learn new skills from each other, further developing their careers and forming stronger relationships between departments.

The result of these training programmes, knowledge-share sessions and volunteering days is that employees at Association for Project Management are highly engaged with the organisation. This creates a positive working environment where individuals are supported and their success is recognised and rewarded.

Featured Workplace Factors

My Team

87% of staff agreed

I feel a strong sense of family in my team

Due to hybrid working conditions, employees often miss the interactions that they get in the office. Regularly arranged activities help to bring the team together and build relationships through virtual social events, quizzes, fundraising events (which always involve cake!), face-to-face training, and aways days – including this year’s Lego workshop.

Leadership

89% of staff agreed

This organisation is run on strong values / principles

Operating in an inclusive culture, the organisation’s DEIB, menopause, and carers community groups are supported by the Leadership Team who ensure that all needs are catered for. The CEO and Leadership Team use an open door policy and participate in coffee mornings so employees can chat informally and share any successes and concerns with them.

Personal Growth

59% of staff agreed

This job is good for my own personal growth

The association's Making Room to Grow days, which run twice a year, are popular with staff and provide an opportunity for everyone to come together and learn through interactive team-building activities. Another popular initiative is the Knowledge Share Calendar which offers access to a range of topics through interactive hour-long sessions.

Quote from the top...

An organisation’s biggest asset is its people and investing in the workforce is something we hold in high regard at APM. Over the past year, we have proactively sought to reduce unnecessary workload, to champion DEIB (diversity, equality, inclusion and belonging) and to provide opportunities for career development and professional growth. As a result, our workforce wellbeing has seen further improvements moving us from a 1* to a 2* accreditation by Best Companies. We are extremely proud to be an employer of choice and we plan to continue to invest in our workforce in the coming months and years.

Professor Adam Boddison OBE, CEO
