Target is instituting a return-to-office policy for its commercial unit, requiring employees to be present three days a week starting in September. The Chief Commercial Officer, Rick Gomez, communicated this decision via email, emphasizing the benefits of in-person collaboration for business growth and problem-solving. Employees can select their workdays based on team preferences. Target is coordinating with local transit to facilitate commuting. Other companies have also adopted similar return-to-office strategies, and downtown worker traffic is expected to increase towards pre-pandemic levels.
"More time together, in the office, will help us grow our business faster, solve problems quickly, and build stronger relationships," Gomez wrote in the email.
Employees will be allowed to set their own schedules and choose which three days work best for them and their immediate work teams, he wrote.
Target is working with the city and Metro Transit to reopen more bus lines and improve parking safety, according to a source familiar with the matter.
U.S. Bank, Xcel Energy and Ameriprise have already called workers back to the office at least three days a week.
