Hendrick Cares for Employees
People are our most important asset. It's what sets Hendrick
Automotive Group apart from its competition, a focus first instilled by
Chairman and CEO Rick Hendrick beginning with the operation of his first
dealership in Bennettsville, South Carolina in 1976. We work as a team, best
utilizing our individual talents and skills to reach a common goal. Our
11,000-plus employees across the country are empowered, encouraged and trained
to be leaders within our organization.
We take care of our employees; they take care of our
customers. Training, recognition and advancement opportunities, team
celebrations and outings, a strong values-based culture, employee and family
benefits, and a positive working environment are only some of the advantages of
working for Hendrick Automotive Group.
Employee Recognition Program
Hendrick Automotive Group values its teammates and places a heavy emphasis on numerous recognition programs at our more than 134 dealership locations, collision centers, accessories dealership installers throughout the 13 states in which we operate. From monthly luncheons that focus on dealership-wide and individual accomplishments, to our annual awards and engine building competition, Hendrick Automotive Group focuses on recognizing and celebrating our teammates in unique ways.
Hendrick University
The best way we can show we care for our employees is by investing in their continued success. Hendrick University offers a variety of ongoing training programs led by seasoned professionals to facilitate both professional and personal growth. Regardless of someone's role with the company, we strive to provide teammates with the training they need to excel in their current position while preparing them for their next.
Ricky Hendrick Scholarship Program
One of our company's most popular benefit programs, the Ricky Hendrick Scholarship has provided more than 4,500 college scholarships to families since its inception. The program was created to grant eligible dependents of Hendrick Automotive Group employees the opportunity to receive funds to further their education. The program also supports Liberty University's growing Automotive Dealership Management program with the help of Hendrick Automotive Group team members.
Teammate Emergency Response
From time to time, major catastrophes change the lives of
some of our employees. But it's during these challenging times that best illustrate
how Hendrick Automotive Group is a family. Fellow employees step up to volunteer in impacted communities with the company's support. Additionally, the
Ricky Hendrick Fund is available at the discretion of company leaders to support teammates experiencing the impact of major catastrophes such as hurricanes, floods, fires or other rare challenges.
