Diversity & Inclusion
Diversity is in Our DNA
In order to run a successful business spanning multiple generations, it is important to value diversity and promote inclusivity within the company culture. By assembling a team of diverse individuals and encouraging them to share their perspectives, we introduce new ideas and innovative thinking into our operations. Collaborating with the positive influence of our experiences and opportunities from the past century has helped us overcome challenges and open the door to success. As a result, Pohanka is now recognized as one of the largest, oldest, and most highly regarded business groups in the country.
Giving voice to the diverse perspectives of our people.
While we are an automotive company, we really operate in the people business. Our team members come from the communities we serve, and they use their skills and experiences to positively influence the lives of our customers. Each of these individuals brings a unique perspective and life experience, much like our diverse customer base. By knowing ourselves, we are better equipped to understand and serve our clients.
Inclusive Leadership
Bringing our collective voices together for a greater impact.
At Pohanka Hyundai, we believe in inclusive leadership that values and respects all individuals. We are proud that 25% of our leadership roles are filled by women, and we have experienced a 50% increase in the number of female employees. Additionally, 60% of our leadership roles are filled by people from underrepresented communities, with a 15% increase in the number of employees from underrepresented racial and cultural backgrounds.
Putting employees first
Work/Life Balance
Every day, the members of the Pohanka Team make it a priority to positively influence the communities we serve. To support this, our management philosophy prioritizes our employees, including providing them with first-rate benefits that enable them to thrive in every aspect of their lives. Nurturing personal development in all forms is the driving force behind our work. Knowing the importance of rest and restoration, we also urge our team members to relish their personal time as well.
Equal Opportunity & Advancement
Diverse backgrounds across all departments
Organizations that are successful don't just recruit good people, they also focus on their potential for growth. Pohanka believes in the concept of continuous improvement and career advancement for every employee. The evidence of this philosophy is reflected in our leadership team. Our ownership group includes individuals who began their journey with us as receptionists, lot porters, and salespeople. We know that supporting others in fulfilling their career aspirations feeds success for the company overall.

Supporting the Brave
Empowering Veteran Team Members
Many of our valued team members served in the armed service prior to their careers in the automotive industry - including many of our owner-partners. The Washington area is known as one of the best places to retire, and we value the contributions of veterans both as employees and as customers.
Commitment & Advocacy
Creating an Inclusive Workplace for all expressions
Everyone has value and potential. The formula for a successful business begins with an environment that supports and mentors team members to be their very best. We believe in processes that allow for individual expression within a professional structure.
Eco-Friendly Dealership
We think it's important to align sales with the planet.
We take our responsibility as guardians of our environment very seriously. Sustainability across industries doesn't need to be a goal; it happens every day. Part of what makes this area great is its environmental wonders, including the Blue Ridge Mountains, acres of untouched forest, the Rappahannock and Potomac Rivers, the Chesapeake Bay, and the beaches of the Atlantic. Doing our part through conservation partnerships and recycling efforts is not just for show, it's for life.
