Structure & Stewardship
As part of our mission to be the best and make each person’s life better, we focus just as much on adding value to our internal organization as we do to serving our clients. Healthy culture is established from the top down. We ensure Qualfon works hard to create a culture that serves all our employees and their families holistically with programs and principles that let us live our mission every day.
The more successful our businesses are, the more we can invest in our community-focused programs and initiatives and the better we can take care of our employees, their families, and the world around us.
Alfonso Gonzalez and his family, the Gonzalez-Fernandez family, founded the company based on their faith and desire to improve all aspects of human life. They consecrated Qualfon to God and wholeheartedly embraced the mission and STRIDES values, choosing to live them out every day with purpose, which at its core is driven by love, respect and dignity for all human beings and the world they live in.
Since our inception in 1995, we’ve invested more than $100 million in our mission efforts. We give our time, talents, and resources to the betterment of each and every person who works for us. This value is the bedrock of our company and has guided our leadership since the foundation of the company.
Our mission and our business do not exist without each other.
Organization & Process
Our comprehensive management model includes a clear mission, values, strategic planning, operational processes, organizational structure, performance monitoring, employee satisfaction initiatives, and effective communication channels. Together, these elements help drive our organization towards our goals and foster a culture of continuous improvement.
To deliver the best services and solutions to our clients and their customers, we track, monitor, report, and take action on over 1,000 monthly KPIs. We have an average adherence rate of 93% for our KPI goals, thanks to bi-weekly and monthly check-ins to evaluate what our employees need to excel at their jobs. Yearly goals and five-year plans help us create a big-picture vision of where we’d like Qualfon to go over time, and the frequent check-ins ensure those goals are on track.
Leadership & Teamwork
At Qualfon, our leaders are not just managers, they are Mission Leaders. They are trained as Managers, Messengers and Mentors, and we expect them to follow our Mission 360 framework to help improve the lives of our clients, their customers, our employees and the communities in which we live and work. Today, we have over 1,500 Mission Leaders within Qualfon.
We have an established global Mission Office and Chief Mission Officer who reports directly to our CEO. Our Mission Office supports more than 500 clients and thousands of our employees, their families, and their communities. More than 100 professionals work together to design, develop, and execute 30+ programs that range from food subsidies to college degree programs to community projects and more.

At all times, we are committed to operating in all of our global communities in a manner to ensure that we operate in the most ethical manner. This means protecting and respecting the rights of our employees, including, but not limited to proper working conditions, fair wages and a zero tolerance on forced labor, child labor and other human trafficking practices; maintaining fair competition in our business; and not engaging in bribery or corruption.
All personnel who are responsible for hiring and promoting employees and for the development and implementation of our programs or activities are charged to support equal employment opportunity, to provide reasonable accommodation, and to respond promptly and appropriately to any concerns that are brought to their attention. All employees are encouraged to raise any concerns they may have as it relates to discrimination of any kind whatsoever without the fear of reprisal.
Environmental Care
Approximately 50-60 percent of our global workforce works from home, with more than 85 percent of employees working off-site regularly. Not only does this arrangement help our associates balance their lives better, experts estimate that employees in our industry who work from home generate 55 percent less CO2 than employees who work onsite. We’ve also reduced our global travel by up to 40 percent, working collaboratively and virtually to reduce our impact on the environment. We estimate that since 2019, we’ve reduced our carbon emissions by up to 60 percent.
We’re always looking for passionate people to invest in. Join our team and become part of an organization that treats employees with genuine care and support.
