Target has mandated that its merchandising team work in the company's Downtown Minneapolis offices three days a week. This decision, communicated by Chief Commercial Officer Rick Gomez, emphasizes the benefits of in-person connection and collaboration. The team, including buyers and planners, previously operated under a flexible hybrid work model since the pandemic. Individual leaders have the discretion to manage their teams flexibly based on company guidelines. Other companies, such as 3M and General Mills, have also implemented similar in-office work requirements.
"Team members tell us they see the benefit from the in-person connection and collaboration that's a part of being in the office," says Harper-Tibaldo.
"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.
