Target is expanding child care and parental leave benefits for its employees, the company announced Monday.
“We’ve taken a strong position on minimum starting wages, but that’s just one facet of our team member experience,” said Melissa Kremer, Target’s top human resources executive.
Beginning June 30, team members will receive double the amount of paid time off to care for a new baby.
The company’s program will include 20 days total of in-center child care or in-home child and elder care.
Target says it is also committed to doubling reimbursement for surrogacy and adoption costs for employees.
“Our team finds so much support here to grow their skills and careers, make a difference in their communities, and take care of themselves and their families,” Kremer said. “… including benefits that we’re enhancing to be more relevant across a breadth of life stages.”
