Since 2009, VIOC, GCOC, and Valvoline Heavy Duty, have been raising funds through donations from our customers, team members, and franchisees to support Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. In 2023, we exceeded our fundraising goal and raised just over $1.2M, once again putting us in the Miracle Million Club.
The funds raised by Valvoline were donated to Children’s Miracle Network, and were distributed among their 170 Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals throughout local communities in the United States and Canada to help support critical life-saving treatments, healthcare services, innovative research, vital pediatric medical equipment, and financial assistance for families unable to afford healthcare services. We take great pride in our long-standing partnership with Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and are honored to make a positive impact on the lives of millions of children across North America.
The Hands On Assistance (HOA) Fund is a public charity and registered 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. The HOA Fund is funded by employees’ donations and matching contributions from Valvoline. The mission of the HOA Fund is to provide support to Vamily members facing financial difficulties resulting from unforeseen personal hardships, natural disasters, or unexpected emergencies. As a result of individual employee contributions and matching donations from Valvoline, in 2023 the HOA Fund made over 100 individual grants that totaled nearly $175,000 in short-term financial relief to Vamily members recovering from hardship.
We strive to foster a culture of growth and development for our employees. We believe that our programmatic approach to workplace advancement is an important element of our growth strategy, and we constantly seek ways to improve it. We are proud of our hiring metrics, which reflect our commitment to prioritizing the needs and well-being of our team members.
Our talent development program continues to evolve and improve, thanks to the feedback and suggestions of our employees. In 2023, we made the decision to transition to a role- and position-oriented approach to improve the certification process for our service center team members and to provide them with greater opportunities for growth. We recognize that we still have much to learn and improve upon, and we remain dedicated to enhancing our learning technology and curriculum to better serve our team members.
