Some of the best practices being implemented include: 

• Office capacity is limited to 50% – managers segregated employees into two teams that alternate weeks spent in the office, to help minimize exposure.
• The state of Kentucky has mandated a health assessment, and Valvoline leveraged digital technology for team members to complete the self-assessment at home before arriving at the location of work.
• Protective barriers for guest interface – Valvoline has installed barriers at the highest guest interface areas, including the front desk in the lobby, cafeteria, credit union, and the company store. This significant investment is something that Valvoline believes will continue to utilize in the long term. 
• Valvoline instituted a concept called “Leave an empty chair” in all meetings – allowing between 3 to 6 feet distance between people sitting around a table.
• Minimizing high touch points – Valvoline modified areas to include touch-less door openers and personal door opening devices for use throughout the office.
• Enhanced cleaning and sanitization – Valvoline implemented additional provisions to clean all high-touch surfaces, such as doorknobs/handles and printer surfaces, to help make the office environment as comfortable and safe as possible.
• Valvoline will continue to be flexible with “high risk” individuals and those with personal situations working from home and will potentially make their work from home policy more flexible, as several employees are anticipated to prefer to continue working remotely.
• Daily temperature checks and health assessment – Valvoline installed temperature scanning kiosks to measure temperatures of employees entering a building
