What Are the Keys to Leadership of a Best Places to Work Organization?
By John F. Gause, President, Apex Benefits
A
pex Benefits is honored to be recognized as one of Indiana’s Best Places to Work in 2012. For
nearly a decade, we have been proud to be of service to Indiana’s most respected organizations.
Our success comes not only in serving our clients, but also in creating a superior workplace
environment for the heart of our business – our employees.
We promote four key commitments in our business promise: accountability, empowerment,
integrity and excellence. We believe that adhering to these principles within our workplace is a
critical component to creating a positive and healthy environment. Employees who are treated with
respect and honesty feel that they are a valued asset of our company.
Our first key commitment in our business promise is accountability. Apex Benefits focuses on
accountability as we hold ourselves responsible to our clients, colleagues, business partners and community. We believe that
responsibility for our actions makes us value the thoughts and time of others.
Our second key commitment is empowerment. We share our knowledge with our clients to help them effectively manage their
benefits programs. We also share ideas and resources within our business so that employees feel they have the support of management
and fellow employees. We believe open communication and sharing gives everyone the feeling of being part of our team.
Integrity is our third key commitment. We adhere to the highest ethical standards in everything we do, say and promote.
Direct communication and positive feedback allows everyone to feel that honesty and integrity are always expected in our
workplace. We believe that these commitments encourage everyone to have a positive “can do!” attitude.
Finally, we strive to always provide unprecedented levels of service to every client in our goal of excellence.
We believe that providing the best possible service makes clients happy to work with us – and the cycle is
strengthened when the employees build relationships with our clients.
At Apex Benefits, we know our business is only as good as our employees, so we strive to start with
excellence in our workplace.
