CarMax’s Diane Cafritz on Empowering Hourly Workers

Roula Amire:
Welcome to Better By Great Place to Work the Global Authority on workplace culture. I'm your host, Roula Amire, Content Director at Great Place to Work. Diane Cafritz, EVP of Human Resources and General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer at CarMax joins me today and we talk to all about hourly workers from ways to make sure their work is meaningful to how to support their well-being and training and development needs. Diane shares lots of examples of what engages hourly workers and why, and reminds us that frontline workers are the face of your company and are your heroes, and they want what we all want, which is to feel valued. We hope this episode inspires you. Enjoy. Diane, welcome to the podcast.

Diane Cafritz:
Thank you, Roula. It's good to be here.

Roula Amire:
It's great to have you on. I was talking about who I was going to interview with a friend of mine for this next season, and she got so excited when I mentioned CarMax because she's a huge fan.

Diane Cafritz:
Oh, wonderful.

Roula Amire:
She sold her last two cars there and she's always pleasantly surprised with how much she got, how easy it was. I sold my car when I moved to Chicago, so I haven't bought or sold a car in-

Diane Cafritz:
A long timea

Roula Amire:
... in years. So CarMax has been one of the Fortune hundred best companies to work for nearly 20 years.

Diane Cafritz:
[inaudible 00:01:46] 20th is our 20th.

Roula Amire:
Happy anniversary.

Diane Cafritz:
Yeah, we feel that way. It's wonderful. Thank you.

Roula Amire:
You're in the retail industry and the majority of your workers are hourly, and I'm putting that out because you're in an industry where the average worker is not having a great experience compared with people in other industries, and the average hourly worker is having a worse experience than salaried workers. So that's why I wanted to have you on because that's not the reality at CarMax or at companies with great cultures. When we look at the differences between hourly workers and salaried workers, meaningful work is one of the biggest gaps of experience. In retail for hourly workers, about 40% find their work meaningful at an average company, and that number jumps to about 70 at best workplaces like yours, on average. What do you do to create a sense of meaning and purpose for your workers?

Diane Cafritz:
Yeah, I mean, I think that's a great question and you might not intuitively think working at a used car dealership will give you purpose and meaning. So we know that we have to be very intentional about providing that for our associates. Everything we do is based on our four values, do the right thing, put people first, win together and go for greatness. And we weave every program, every communication, every time leader is in front of their team, they weave the values into that, and so our associates know that we will walk our talk. Then our vision is to ensure an iconic experience for everyone everywhere, whether you're customer of ours, an associate we're engaging in the community we want your interaction with CarMax to be an iconic experience.

The great thing about trying to achieve an iconic experience is everybody can contribute to that. And so we link with our associates work through their business objectives, through our recognition programs, how they are contributing to an iconic experience for our customers, our associates in our community. And then I'd say the last thing is we really have doubled down on our community efforts. We just hit our a hundred million dollars contribution over the lifetime of our programming. So that's very exciting.

And we base our foundation dollars that we provide and what our associates... Is most important to them. And so we do that by putting no limits really on who they can give to, obviously it needs to meet legal requirements, but so that they can feel that the dollars that are important to them and the giving that they do, whether it's time or money, is something that's meaningful for them personally and in their communities. And we think that has really helped our folks feel part of something greater than just having a job.

Roula Amire:
So let's drill down into that a bit. What is an iconic experience? How is that defined? And just kind of for the everyday hourly worker, what does a manager do to make that come to life to kind of pair what they do to a meaningful and purposeful experience.

Diane Cafritz:
Right, yes.

Roula Amire:
Right, yeah.

Diane Cafritz:
Yes. So an iconic experience I think of as going above and beyond what whoever you're interacting would expect. So if your employee needs help on something for a peer, for instance, the peer stops what they're doing and gives that person the assistance, even though that may get them off track from their own productive work they're trying to accomplish. If it's a customer, it's really surprising and delighting them. So when they come in to sell a car, they have the seamless experience like you just referenced, and we tie back to our associates. So if you are reconditioning a car, you are a huge piece of how you sell a car because if quality is such a big part of providing an iconic experience. So when we talk to our technicians and our detailers, we highlight their work, we highlight it within their team, we highlight it publicly saying, "This is a car that would provide an iconic experience. This is the quality that we're looking for."

And so that's ways in which we'll tie their work to it. And then we celebrate when they really go above and beyond for customers or above and beyond for their associates. And we have quarterly communications meetings in our stores, in all of our sites. And in those meetings we recognize above and beyond iconic experiences that are being delivered. And recognition is such a powerful way to make people feel great and valued in their organization.

Roula Amire:
I want to touch on the result of this positive experience and this virtual cycle of care that happens at great companies. Can you speak to the connection between customer service scores and employee engagement?

Diane Cafritz:
Yes. So we actually ask our customers about their satisfaction with the associates that they work with. And what we see is how and when do you do that. So we survey our customers. So whether you've purchased from us or you're a shopper or you've sold a car to us, we'll send you a survey. And part of that survey is rating your satisfaction with whomever that you interacted with, with the associate.

And then whatever that score is so to speak, and the NPS score for associate satisfaction, we bring that back to the associate and we celebrate their wins and we help them improve when they are not meeting the expectations of our customers. And it's just this lovely cycle, right? If we only worked on the things that were opportunities for them, meaning when they didn't meet the customer's needs, then it would be somewhat of a beat down, to be perfectly honest. Because you're buying a used car, there are times when people are not satisfied with their experience. It's not what the majority of our customers experience, but nonetheless it happens. So we really focus on what are you doing well and let's really work on continuing those strengths. And when people are getting the recognition and they're getting that one-on-one manager conversation about their performance, we think that they're more engaged because they feel more valued.

And again, you've got to focus on the pros and the cons of whatever the experience is, what they're doing well, what they need to work on. And we have seen that more engaged associates overall provide a much better experience for our customers. And that's why we can strive to be iconic. It's 'cause we know we're focused on taking care of our associates, they'll take care of our customers and the rest will take care of itself.

Roula Amire:
The other biggest difference in terms of the employee experience for hourly and salaried workers is psychological and emotional health. In retail, 44% of hourly workers at an average company say the workplace is healthy compared with about 70% at the best companies. What types of well-being practices have you developed for your hourly workers?

Diane Cafritz:
Yeah, I think this is so top of mind for, should be, for every employer. It's been such a stressful, challenging environment, certainly during COVID and post-COVID. So we've really, really focused on this mental health well-being in addition to physical health. If we had to prioritize our resources, we've been really focused there on mental health. One, we dedicate a whole month to mental health and one of the things that we do is we take leaders who have struggled with alcoholism or depression or anxiety, and we have them tell their stories and we videotape that. These are leaders, these are vice presidents of the company. These are people that would otherwise you wouldn't necessarily assume had struggles like mental health struggles. And we showcase them in ways of which they are comfortable telling their story. And they talk about how they were supported by friends, family, the company, their colleagues. They talk about what they did to get help and how important that is and that they should feel, and they felt, that they could be comfortable talking to their managers about what they were going through.

And that has been wildly successful and incredibly important. I often will get emails during the month about, "Oh my gosh, it was so great to hear about leader XYZ and what she went through," or, "What he went through." So it's one of the things that we do during mental health awareness. We also provide all our associates and family members, and we've actually just started a program where they can provide this to other friends and family, access to an app called Headspace. And Headspace is very similar to Calm, but it is really focused on stress relief, sleep, mental health in general. And then also we provide virtual services for our associates for mental health services. And the biggest thing is how do you educate, one, to hopefully get rid of the stigma around mental health? Which is a very challenging thing for everyone. And then two, there's so many wonderful programs that we've made available, so many great benefits, but people don't know when and how to take advantage of them. So we really leverage the manager to associate.

We provide the managers with the information and the associates, but we really ask them during the mental health awareness month to really focus on what's available to them. And then when things happen, for instance, our associate experience team is piloting a program called Empathy. Empathy is a virtual-based app, which essentially helps you go through grief and the practical sides of grief. Meaning if somebody has a will or they don't have a will, what do you need to do about life insurance? If they had life insurance or they don't... These practical things that when you are in such grief is incredibly challenging to overcome or to even figure out. And then also the sort of the health and wellness side of grief. So we've been piloting that. We don't have the results yet of how successful it's been, but it's those types of things that you really need to think about when are going to be the most stressful times for your associates and how can we as an organization help them get through it.

And then on the well-being side, on the health and financial well-being, 'cause financial well-being obviously is very critical to health, is we really have tried to make it more accessible and more affordable. Those are the two things, particularly our hourly workers tell us all the time when we survey them. Affordability, accessibility, and so for both, for instance, we have done every sort of virtual service that you can provide from... We just started physical therapy virtual services for our associates. Your primary care can be virtual. We are in small and large markets. And some of the small markets, there is no access to even basic primary care. So while virtual is not good for everything, for health decisions, there's so much that can be done and it is affordable and accessible and we do as much as possible to make that free to our associates.

Roula Amire:
So you mentioned Headspace, Empathy.

Diane Cafritz:
Yes.

Roula Amire:
The app and then now just physical health, virtual care, how did you know your people needed that?

Diane Cafritz:
Yes.

Roula Amire:
Why did you do that? Why did you choose that?

Diane Cafritz:
Yeah. So it started during COVID, obvious, maybe not obviously, but it started during COVID because we had to furlough 75% of our workforce. And at that time, we knew this was going to be... And we didn't know when we'd be able to bring them back. And the reason being is because auto retailers were shut down, so we weren't considered essential. There was no work for our associates to do. So one, we provided them... Made sure they... And paid for their healthcare during this time. And two, we really focused on helping to help support them. And we required our managers to check in with each associate every week on how they were doing and what did they need. And what we heard from that was around mental health significantly. We also do benefit survey every other year, and in that benefit survey, we learned that mental health was a high priority for our associates, and so we took our dollars and invested there.

Also, I know there are a lot of listeners probably that don't have the wherewithal that a CarMax does. It doesn't need to be money necessarily. It is like you know somebody's had a loss in their life. How do your managers and colleagues support them? What are the things that we are going to consistently deliver if somebody has a loss in their life? Or if some other disappointment or if we know they're struggling, what are the things that we're going to do? Let's agree on them, let's activate them and make sure that we follow through. And those don't cost anything. It's just supporting your associates and connecting with them where they are in their lives.

Roula Amire:
Right. It's encouraging them to have these conversations or just to check in.

Diane Cafritz:
Absolutely. Absolutely. That's right.

Roula Amire:
I just want to have a follow-up around grief in particular. Was this something that came up... Feedback that you heard of people needing more mental health support around that life experience in particular?

Diane Cafritz:
I think what we were seeing was that what we wanted to do was say, what's the common incredibly stressful event in people's lives and what can we do? And that is we believe the most, if you have a loss in your life. And so if we could figure that out and what the right recipe was with technology and personal interaction and what the company could provide, then we could take other areas that may be stressful in people's lives and unpack it and figure out what else we should be doing. So we wanted to start there.

Roula Amire:
And what has the engagement been?

Diane Cafritz:
So we're still in it. We're still in the pilot, but so far it's been super. And what's funny, when we rolled this out, we got comments from our associates on Solicited of, "My goodness, what an amazing thing you're doing." Even our young associates who don't expect to have any loss in their life, were really impressed that a company cared in that way.

Roula Amire:
I'm impressed.

Diane Cafritz:
Oh, thank you.

Roula Amire:
So I think for the listener, the takeaway here is you asked your workers, you listened and you did something.

Diane Cafritz:
Yes.

Roula Amire:
Because sometimes people hear meditation apps, they can become checklist items.

Diane Cafritz:
Right.

Roula Amire:
That's why I asked how and why did you choose that, it's specific to your workers and to your company, and that's the real takeaway.

Diane Cafritz:
Yes, absolutely. Yep, yep, yep. These programs can be expensive. So if you aren't really leveraging all that can be offered and communicating appropriately and embracing them as leaders and managers and associates, then you're right, it's a check the box exercise and why bother?

Roula Amire:
And what's been the engagement with the Headspace?

Diane Cafritz:
It's been great. It's been fantastic. I get up all the time in front of our associates and talk about the Headspace app and how I'm using it. We also have an app with our medical plan, it's called The Engage App. And essentially you engage with the app about all healthy lifestyle things. So I get up in front of our associates and share about that of how I'm tracking my sleep or how I am tracking my exercise and how I've changed my eating habits and things like that. So I hear it when I go out into our field, our leaders talking about it too. And the more we talk about it, the more people leverage it and use it.

Roula Amire:
You're modeling the behavior [inaudible 00:16:36]-

Diane Cafritz:
That's exactly right.

Roula Amire:
... you need it as part of being successful.

Diane Cafritz:
That's right. Yeah, it's part of-

Roula Amire:
Of life.

Diane Cafritz:
It's part of life.

Roula Amire:
Our research also tells us that hourly workers would feel more supported with training and development. Can you share some ways you're investing in them? And that can include mentorship programs as well. What are you doing and what would you recommend for others?

Diane Cafritz:
Yes. So one of the things that we do that's really core to our training and development is around individual development plans. Everybody at every level of the company has an individual development plan, and it is the walk the talk. It's one of the best examples and one of the... It takes away the stigma of an individual development plan. I know other companies use that as this is how to get you back on track if you've sort of fallen off of your performance. For us, it's for our most successful and our least successful. Everybody has an IDP. So that's one of the core things that we do. The other thing is what we've done is we have... And this is the beauty of technology, is we are offering bite-sized learnings for anybody to take advantage of depending on what they want to develop and what they want to work on.

And we recommend that the managers have a conversation with their associates, and then we give them a library of, okay, you need to work on communication or you need to work on influencing. Here's the library of these bite-sized learnings that you can do. And the way it works when it's working incredibly well is the manager takes it too. So I have someone on my team who has a brand new manager and has never managed people, and she comes into the company, she's brand new to the company and never managed people, and she's managing a team. And her manager is listening to these manager one-on-one courses so that they can have a really good rich discussion and also that they can actually do them, so they can practice what they're learning. So that's the intent of these bite-sized learnings. And we talk about opportunity within the organization. I think sometimes people only see the line above them and they have trouble seeing the lattice around them of the opportunities.

And so we talk about that, and we also provide tools like career pathing tools. So you know that if you start as a sales consultant, what could your path look like. If you start as a fleet driver for us, what could your path look like? To management or even within the hourly ranks, what could your path look like and what do you need to do to get there? We're not as sophisticated as we'd like to be on career pathing. We're working on it. It's a big priority this year in particular, but we've provided the basics so that our managers can have really great conversations with our associates. It's something that we're really incredibly proud of our training and development. Aside from being on the Great Places to Work list, our second most prideful moment is that we're on the list for the best companies that train and develop.

Roula Amire:
Bite-sized learnings. Define that.

Diane Cafritz:
So bite-sized learning is people don't have attention spans anymore, sadly, I don't either.

Roula Amire:
Me included.

Diane Cafritz:
Right, me included. And so what we're trying to get is the 10 minutes or less learning where it's often a video and then there's scenarios around it. And then the person who's taking it contemplates what the scenarios mean and how they would answer the questions related to the scenario. And then they're supposed to practice after they go through that 10 minute [inaudible 00:20:01]-

Roula Amire:
Okay, so 10 minute or less video.

Diane Cafritz:
Right. And some of them are a little longer, but the intent is not to be sitting in a classroom. Our hourly workers are incredibly busy. And for them to be able to find time for development, we have to make that time for them. And if it were classrooms where we had to fly them places, it's just not practical. So to get them to be able to watch something that's entertaining, educational and easy to digest and then work with their managers on practicing it, we think is the best way to at least now to be training and developing our associates. There's so much in that space that we can continue to think about, but that's been a key core to our training and development.

Roula Amire:
And are they using it? Are they...

Diane Cafritz:
So we have super users who are daily digesters. It's really awesome, and they've become our champions. And then there are some who are like, I love what I'm doing and I'm getting what I need from my development, from my one-on-one manager feedback. This isn't required. Sometimes there are required learnings, but this is so that whatever you want to do for your career, however you want to either strengthen your strengths or work in your opportunities, we can provide for you. That's the goal here. And so if you're using it one quarter because you're really thinking hard about something related to your career, but you don't use it for the rest of the year, that's great. It's intended to be available versus pushing training to them.

Roula Amire:
Right.

Diane Cafritz:
Yeah.

Roula Amire:
It sends a message to workers that you care, and particularly hourly workers, that we want to invest and develop you.

Diane Cafritz:
Right, absolutely.

Roula Amire:

Hear from bestselling authors like Angela Duckworth, and the Emmy nominated actress, Mindy Kaling. Then mark your calendars May 7th through ninth, and join us in New Orleans at the Great Place to Work for all summit. The can't miss company culture and leadership event of the year. Use the code Better2024 to save $200 off registration before April 7th. Find the code and link in our episode bio. See you there. We're going to switch gears.

Diane Cafritz:
All right.

Roula Amire:
And talk about you for a bit. What advice would you go back and give your younger self?

Diane Cafritz:
Yes, I love this question. I think I'd tell myself to enjoy the ride. I think, we're busy. We can be stressed sometimes I wouldn't stop and smell the roses, and it's just too important. Joy is such a huge piece of being engaged at work, engaged in life, that while I had high engagement for my 20 plus years at CarMax throughout, I probably could have had more fun. It was there for me to take the fun and the joy, but I tended to be more overly serious and perhaps too intense for my own good. So that's one piece of advice that I'd give myself is it's just so important to enjoy the journey and that it isn't always about the destination. What's the next role? What's the next opportunity? What's the next challenge? It's about what you're doing in the moment and how you're doing it.

The second thing I would recommend is be a lifetime learner. The role that I have now, I had no functional expertise when I was put in that role and the CHRO role and now EVP of HR and legal. And I didn't have any functional on the HR side and so I had to learn all of it. And what I realized about myself was I am at my best when I'm learning. And I think that's true for the vast majority of people. And so that would be my two piece advice. Have some fun and make sure you keep learning.

Roula Amire:
Speaking of learning, is there a book or podcast you'd recommend to your peers?

Diane Cafritz:
Sure. I think particularly on this topic, on honoring your hourly workers and ensuring an engaged workforce, I think Founders Mentality is an excellent, excellent book. And what it basically focuses on, relevant to this topic you and I have been talking about is your frontline associates are your heroes. They are how you generate revenue. They are the face of your company. And are you asking yourself every day as a leader, are you treating them that way? Do they feel like a hero? And the Founders Mentality gives very practical advice on how to do that for leaders. And it also is just a good perspective to remember as we think about programs, as we think about changes in the organization, as we think about all pieces of the associate experience, they are our heroes and the Founders Mentality, it's an excellent book to bring that to life.

Roula Amire:
That's a great recommendation. And a reminder that even when we say hourly workers or salaried workers, they're people.

Diane Cafritz:
That's right. Absolutely. And they want what we all want is to feel valued. And that's really what a founder does, is to make everyone feel like they're part of the mission, like we talked about in the beginning, and that they're contributing to something bigger than themselves.

Roula Amire:
Yep. That's what everyone wants out of work.

Diane Cafritz:
Absolutely. Any demographic-

Roula Amire:
And out of life.

Diane Cafritz:
... any industry, any person.

Roula Amire:
Yes.

Diane Cafritz:
Exactly. Out of life.

Diane Cafritz:
Absolutely. I know that's what the studies show.

Roula Amire:
Yes. That's certainly what our data proves to be true as well. Yes. Can you share a challenge you faced in the last year and what you learned about yourself? This can be personally or professionally.

Diane Cafritz:
Yes. Oh my goodness. So I'm of the generation, that's the... I don't know what they call us, but where I'm at, maybe it's age more than generation where I have raising children and I am taking care of elderly parents.

Roula Amire:
Sandwich generation.

Diane Cafritz:
Sandwich generation, thank you. Yes, I am smack dab in the middle of that. And what I learned from this is I can't do it all as much as I want to. And so I've got to figure out, time is so precious and it is a gift that we give to each other and ourselves. This was a very, very stressful year for me personally and I had to figure out how much could I give to work so that my associates didn't suffer, and how much could I give to my family so they didn't suffer. And sometimes that balance changes in any given year. When everything's going really well, you can focus perhaps more on career and work and investing in associates. And when things are not going as well at home, I certainly said, "How can I leverage my team better so I don't have to always be the face of whatever the work is so that I could be there more for my family?"

It was definitely the sort of the first time in my life where I've had such personal adversity that I was going through at a time where I had a very demanding job and how could I balance it? And I think the lesson I learned was, everybody's doing this. This is not unique to me. Everybody has something going on outside of work, and we need to give them grace during those times. And we need to know that about them if they're willing to share so that we can help be part of the solution and that we can be as incredibly supportive as possible. And I'm so lucky that my CEO certainly has been that for me this year in this challenged environment for me personally. There's all this goodness that came out of what I thought was probably one of the most difficult things in my life. And so from that challenge, the lesson I'll take from it, because I'm hoping next year will not be nearly as challenging.

Personally, is what I'll take from that is as leaders, the gifts we can give to our people are giving them the runway and the empowerment and the space to be the best that they can be. And it was something I used to do, but I had to do it in this acute moment tenfold, and it was the right thing to do even if I hadn't had these personal challenges. And so going forward, I'm looking forward to seeing how they soar in this sort of new relationship that we've forged this year.

Roula Amire:
Employees who are caretakers are the fastest growing group in terms of identity in the US.

Diane Cafritz:
That's interesting.

Roula Amire:
One in five are unpaid caretakers, meaning like yourself, you find yourself to be a caretaker, 'cause there's a shortage of them and one in three have to leave their job to take care of family. In this space, you work at a great company, one of the best companies. So what I'm hearing is you do have the space to be vulnerable to share this is what's going on, and you have leaders who are supporting you. You're able to scale back a little bit on some things that you're doing or have others step up and lead when you don't have to.

Diane Cafritz:
That's right. It's like being very choosy about when I have to be the leader. We don't always have to be, even if I want to be. So yes. And I would say one of the key things of why it works within our organization when people are going for caretakers is flexibility. Hourly workers in particular, when we surveyed them, the top two things that are important to them are pay and flexibility. Our frontline associates love engaging with people. They wouldn't be working for us if they didn't. So their ask isn't to work at home or wherever they want. Their ask is, I want to get my child off the bus. Can I have my hours be adjusted so that I can get my child off the bus every day?

They want to, Hey, right now I need to go part-time. Can I go part-time? How many hours do I need to work in order to get my full benefits? Can I go to that level? They need to be able to switch shifts with people on a dime if they can, based on what's going on in their lives. That's what they need. And so as we think about, and we're on a journey in this space on flexibility, I think all companies probably are, we really think differently about the teams, not just salaried versus hourly, but what do each individual population need in order to meet the interest and desire. And sometimes a required flexibility that people need.

Roula Amire:
Especially with care taking.

Diane Cafritz:
Care taking, exactly. That's right.

Roula Amire:
You have no choice have you have to pick up a child, you have to go to a doctor's appointment with a parent too.

Diane Cafritz:
Exactly.

Roula Amire:
You need to be their advocate.

Diane Cafritz:
Yes. That's right.

Roula Amire:
And you've got to go and you shouldn't choose between a job and family.

Diane Cafritz:
That's right. It's a big balance because we have to run a business and it's customer facing, and so we need our associates to be available for our customers. But on the other hand, we need to give our caretakers space when we can, give them space to take care of themselves and their family members. But I think this is a societal issue that we need to think very globally about. As a country, employers can only do so much, and we should do as much as we possibly can, but it is definitely a major issue.

Roula Amire:
It is.
Diane Cafritz:
And I'm feeling it acutely. And it's great when you can feel something acutely because you can figure out what you can do for our 30,000 associates who might be experiencing too.

Roula Amire:
Right. Because...

Diane Cafritz:
Because I'm going to learn from it.

Roula Amire:
Right. And they are as well.

Diane Cafritz:
And they are as well.

Roula Amire:
They're going-

Diane Cafritz:
That's right.

Roula Amire:
Through it as well. That's just the numbers, the statistics say that that you're definitely not alone.

Diane Cafritz:
No. No, no.

Roula Amire:
Unfortunately.

Diane Cafritz:
No, no, no. But that is my challenge for the year and maybe for many years to come as my parents age.

Roula Amire:
Right, right.

Diane Cafritz:
Though the children hopefully won't be as challenging.

Roula Amire:
Children, hopefully they're listening.

Diane Cafritz:
I know, I know. I doubt it.
