Introduction – Target Store

“I was completely amazed, not only by his professionalism but by his genuine desire to ensure that I received the best possible service .” Those are the words of a Target Store customer in Chicago, talking about one of our fantastic [store] team members. We hear those kinds of messages daily about our talented team in Target Store. Whether they’re helping customers find the perfect gift or making shopping at Target easier than ever. In recent years, we’ve transformed the way we run our stores and support our team, all to provide customers with the beautiful shopping experience they have come to expect from Target.

“Several years ago, we saw huge potential in stores and made them a central part of our strategy. Which required a change in the way we operate. To that end, we began a massive multi-year effort to redefine what it means to work at Target,” says John Mulligan, Chief Operating Officer, Target. “Today, we have reinvented the workforce in our stores to put customers at the centre of what we do and to modernize the way we meet the changing needs of our customers.”

That change has brought new roles:

New responsibilities and new skills for more than 300,000 team members in more than 1,800 stores. We spent years trying out new ways of working and listening to our team to make adjustments as we went along. Together, our team members spent millions of hours training for their new roles. And this summer. We completed rolling out the latest model in all of our stores, just in time for the holidays.

The most significant change:

our store teams put the customer at the centre of everything they do. They have gone from working all over the store and marking tasks completed to specializing in a specific area and providing an excellent experience for our customers. Developing skills for future career growth. We’ve added millions of payroll hours to ensure we have the team members we need to help customers when they’re shopping. Especially during our busiest hours. We staff our stores based on our customers’ shopping hours, ensuring that team members are available during the busiest times. We have invested in our team.
