Target expands childcare and pays family dependent benefits as dealers fight for talent
On Monday, Target announced that it will strengthen its childcare benefits and extend the paid family vacation for the 350,000th part – time and full time employees across stores, distribution sites, and headquarters.
"We've taken a strong position on minimum wages, but it's just a facet," Melissa Kremer, Target's chief HR officer, said in prepared comments.
From the beginning of autumn, goalkeepers will receive 20 days of childcare or elderly care through a partner network.
Employees will be able to bring the child to a nursery online for $ 20 a day or pay a subsidized hourly rate for home use.
Target will also shift from offering his employees two weeks paid parental leave to a wider policy that gives employees up to four weeks of paid retirement each year to care for a newborn or sick family member. New VAT at Target will receive another six to eight weeks of paid maternity leave.
"We recognize there are many different situations" when employees have to take care of caring for family members, a spokesman for the company said.
The new step of the goal follows Walmart's move last week to expand the educational benefits of high school students.
Walmart has also offered steady shifts to workers and expanded profitable performance and training, which has led to sales to a five-year low.
Walmart offers up to six weeks of paid parental leave for full-time hours and another 10 weeks of paid maternity leave for new VAT.
