Target Commercial Chief Rolls Out Return to Office Plan
UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 15 – A survey of 3,600 UK workers reveals 38% report worsened wellbeing due to stricter office mandates, with women and younger employees most affected, recruitment firm Hays found.
- Rick Gomez, who became Target's Chief Commercial Officer in July 2024, announced that starting September 2, 2025, certain commercial team employees in Minnesota will be required to work on-site three days per week.
- The return-to-office plan responds to shifts in power after a hot 2022 labor market cooled and follows many employers' moves, including major Minnesota companies calling workers back on hybrid terms.
- Gomez emphasized flexibility, empowering leaders to tailor plans to team needs while citing that more office time will support faster growth, problem-solving, and stronger relationships.
- An internal email shared with Retail Dive instructed employees to choose office days considering business needs, reflecting trends where 59% of U.S. and Canadian firms plan increased office fit-out investments.
- This shift suggests Target aims to drive business resilience amid slumping sales and tariff challenges by fostering in-person collaboration, though questions remain about remote work productivity and market differentiation.
