Starbucks vs Target: The Right Way to Handle Return-to-Office Mandates | Fast Five Shorts
Manage episode 495665344 series 3493475
This week on the Omni Talk Retail Fast Five podcast, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Simbe, Mirakl, and Ocampo Capital, we analyze contrasting approaches to return-to-office policies.
Both Starbucks and Target issued return-to-office orders this week, but with very different strategies. Starbucks mandates employees work in the office a minimum of four days a week (Monday-Thursday) starting in October, even offering voluntary exit packages for those who refuse. Target takes a softer approach, asking team members to work in person at least three times a week with flexibility on which days, leaving decisions to individual leaders.
