Our Mission, Our Core Values

Genuine Human Relationships

WorkXimity was founded on the principle that face-to-face interaction is the best way to build important business, professional and personal relationships.

We use technology to give Members the tools to meet others in a comfortable way, reducing the anonymity of working in a high rise building, or from home, mitigating loneliness, building community and saving time.

Providing a Showcase Platform for Small & Mid-Sized Companies

WorkXimity is invested in the success of each of our Members and Member Businesses.  Bringing important partnerships and relationships to our Members can make a meaningful difference in their business and professional career.

WorkXimity is, by its nature and design, Green.  Our emphasis is on meeting people where(ever) you work – walking or taking an elevator to meet others. No cars necessary.

We Extend Ourselves to Lift Up Others

WorkXimity believes in giving and giving back – doing good, feels good!

We support all non-profits that help others and offer them free messaging on our platform, a place to post about everything they’re doing and highlight their good works in our weekly emails to Members.

Health & Wellness are Integral to our Work Lives

Caring for our physical and mental health is essential to living a long and fruitful life. WorkXimity spotlights businesses, events and other important activities that contribute to and improve our feeling of well-being.
