Target is preparing to bring a significant portion of its corporate workforce back to its downtown Minneapolis headquarters this fall. Beginning in September, all employees within the company’s commercial division will be required to work on-site three days per week, according to The Minnesota Star Tribune.
The commercial division, one of Target’s largest, includes teams involved in merchandising and related functions. The new return-to-office (RTO) directive marks the most expansive in-office policy the company has implemented to date.
In recent months, Target issued similar return mandates for smaller groups and departments. The latest order consolidates those efforts into a larger strategy, reflecting a trend among large employers that are tightening hybrid work policies.
While many companies are pushing for more consistent in-office attendance, debates continue around the long-term impact of such mandates on employee satisfaction, productivity, and retention.
