Listen Later

This is the second episode in our "Delivering Apex" mini-series, in partnership with Apex Logistics.

Last week in Episode 1, "Apex Cares," I was joined by Amy Froese and Holly Qualman to talk all about quality service and giving back – why it's so important and the different programs Apex are involved in to truly help make the world a better place.

Today in Episode 2, "We Deliver Passion," I'm joined by Sangna Mistry Kuhia, Vice President of Human Resources and Organizational Development at Apex, to talk about people – the ins and out of hiring and retention, Apex's people-led approach and why a motivated, dedicated and passionate workforce is the key to success.

[05.23] Why a great workforce is so important.

[11.02] How HR helps to facilitate hiring the right talent, that will keep Apex's core values top of mind.

"We don't just ask people 'what have you done in your past?' More so, we ask 'what do you want to do in your future?' "
