VALUES & ETHICS

Since 1993, when APC was founded, the company has remained committed to the same cornerstones that have anchored our success and that of our professionals and clients – solid ethics, unwavering integrity, open sharing, empathetic caring, and a constant focus on quality and excellence. It is upon this foundation that our values are built and exemplified through our employees.

Values

We never sacrifice ethics--for any reason.

We deliver on our commitments with exceptional results.

We purposefully create memorable experiences.

Ethics

APC is formally committed to ethical actions and lawful conduct. All employees and suppliers are expected to comply with state and federal laws and adhere to APC’s Code of Ethics.

APC believes in doing what is morally right and that includes having the courage to acknowledge mistakes. We routinely embrace challenges and understand that learning from successes and problems builds better individuals and stronger organizations. APC operates with honesty and welcomes transparency in communications, transactions and relationships. This includes sharing information, skills, knowledge and in the rewards of success.

Our clients tell us we operate with refreshing business integrity. APC also believes that to understand a client’s project or issue, our teams must be empathetic and genuinely care about their challenges and outcomes. Without this level of care, true success doesn’t happen. We acknowledge that all of these principles set a high bar. To achieve it, APC is constantly striving for a higher level of quality and excellence from our employees and for our clients.

Specialized Industry Knowledge – Our recruitment team is highly adept at finding the best talent for our clients and their respective available positions. This can only be accomplished through our recruiters possessing a wealth of industry knowledge and knowing just what it is our clients need.

Employee Programs

From the very beginning, our company’s focus has been on positively impacting the lives of others. One way in which we do so is by recognizing the efforts and contributions of our professionals as they positively impact our clients’ respective organizations, as well as APC itself. Here are some ways in which we do so:

Cornerstone Award

Recognizing Everyday Excellence

Cornerstone Award

A cornerstone is the primary foundation upon which great buildings, monuments, and institutions are built; quality, integrity, teamwork, attitude, and excellence are the foundation upon which APC’s success is built.

APC’s Cornerstone Award gives both APC leadership and our client managers the opportunity to acknowledge outstanding work. The Cornerstone Award is given to individuals for whom we receive positive feedback from our client managers, including those who receive nominations for the Waya Award.

The Waya Award

Celebrating Extraordinary Professionals

The Waya Award

The Waya Award is perhaps our most known recognition for professionals. On both a quarterly and annual basis, APC’s Waya Award honors a professional’s contributions and quality service to our client with special acknowledgement for their dedication and exemplary work.

Cherokee for “Wolf,” the Waya is a sacred animal to Native Americans and symbolizes family, teamwork, intelligence, dignity, respect, pride in work, loyalty, and success of a mission. Individuals who receive the Waya Award exemplify what it is to live these traits on a daily basis.

You can learn more about the Waya Award here.

From Basement Startup to Global Recognition

Like so many great companies, Alliance of Professionals & Consultants (APC) traces its roots to a humble basement. In 1993, APC founder Roy Roberts started his company from home, using his pool table to sort payroll.

The company quickly took off, and what began as a humble, home-based company has grown into a global powerhouse. But one thing hasn’t changed – our values.

our founder, roy roberts

roy roberts apc raleigh

Roy Roberts, 1945-2018

As a seven-year-old boy, Roy Roberts worked on a farm, packaging young tomato plants in damp newspaper to prepare them for sale. Even as a child, he recognized the person with the most education had to do the least hard work and he quickly decided that learning as much as possible would be his path. The choice served him well.

Roy Roberts was an advocate for higher education, as well as entrepreneurship. Roberts used these traits and founded several companies over the years.  At the young age of 48, Roberts retired from IBM and started Alliance of Professionals & Consultants, Inc. (APC). He says his drive came from his mother—she was one of 13 children and was the first in her family to finish high school. Her accomplishment inspired her children, including Roberts, to graduate from college. That tradition endured, and each of Roberts’ five children now has advanced degrees. Roberts also dedicated his time, talents, and gifts to promoting education- such as serving on the Board of Trustees of Brescia University in Kentucky.

Roberts was the chief executive officer of APC for 25 years until his passing in 2018. Roberts sons Troy and Scott now manage APC as the CEO and COO respectively.  After dedicating years to helping others improve their lots in life, Roberts developed a work-life philosophy that he hoped positively impacted everyone within the organizations he created.

APC was founded on these principles and they are ingrained in our company culture still today.
