Take 5 Oil Change announced the winners of its new Leadership Excellence Award, according to a press release.
Created by EVP and Group President of Maintenance at Driven Brands, Mo Khalid, the new award is intended for corporate-level employees who have gone above and beyond in their work.
The winners were recognized by Khalid and CEO Jonathan Fitzpatrick during a luncheon at the Driven headquarters offices.
Those who were recognized included Frances Ralston and Mike Detrana from marketing; Tyler Cagle, Salomon Sierra, and Anna Suggs from franchise operations; and Andrew Klink from financial planning & analysis.
The Leadership Excellence award joins other employee recognition initiatives the company has, such as the “Take 5 High 5” recognition for shop employees that is awarded to over 2,000 employees each year along with a gift card and certificate.
Khalid said that there are plans to expand the Leadership Excellence award next year.
“At Take 5, our success comes from our people,” said Khalid. “Recognition is an important part of our culture and we wanted to create an award to recognize those demonstrate excellence in all that they do.”
