Pacific Northwest Client & Consultant Appreciation Trip

Easy Networking, Cool Vibes & Great Food are all phrases we heard to describe the Client & Consultant Appreciation Event that we hosted in Portland, OR earlier this month.

Our Pacific Northwest team gathered last week in Portland, OR to celebrate our hard-working consultants & clients who are located in that division. Similar to the party held here in Phoenix, Arizona back in April (for all those located in that area), we were able to host an event at the beautiful Amaterra Winery in Portland.

The event felt like a whirl wind that went by in the blink of an eye! From planning, to RSVPs, to the event itself, we couldn’t be more pleased with the feedback we have received from all those in attendance. At the event we had live music, delicious wines, a great variety of foods and a raffle where we gave away the below items pictured. With over 110 guests in attendance, it was amazing to finally meet so many of you in person and connect with many of you again!

While the team was out in Oregon for the event, they were able to visit our Portland team’s home base, tour the headquarters of a handful of our clients and get boots-on-the ground of some of our clients west-coast locations. The team was also able to collaborate with our East Coast Partner Mark Pautler on new initiatives for the new year. We want to thank all of our amazing consultants & clients who truly make these events as enjoyable as they are to attend. We couldn’t do it without all of you!

We have (yet again) been recognized by the Phoenix Business Journal in the Top 5 best places to work in Phoenix in 2022! This year AP Professionals was up against some tough competition, but AP was ranked in the Top 5. AP Professionals landed in 4^th place in the Micro Category! We have won this award for a total of 7 years in the past, 6 in a row. This recognition is an honor that we have been able to hold via the support of our amazing employees!

In mid-August, after collecting nominees, The Phoenix Business Journal sends out a qualitative survey to each employee asking them to anonymously evaluate their company on the below criteria:

Team effectiveness
Retention risk
Alignment with goals
Trust with co-workers
Individual contribution
Manager effectiveness
Trust in senior leaders
Feeling valued
Work engagement
People practices

After a month of collecting data, each company’s responses are reviewed, and a list of the best-of-the-best is created! Winners were awarded at an event held by the Phoenix Business Journal on Thursday last week. We will also be recognized in an article published shortly after the event.

AP Professionals is honored to have received this recognition time & time again. We want to thank our employees for all they do each & every day. Always representing AP Professionals at the highest standard!
