In order to deliver on that high-quality service, Target is investing in those of its team who interact with the customers on a day-to-day basis. The $50 million will “be invested in our team in hours, and they’ll be invested in those windows of time when we know guests are shopping our store,” Cornell said, according to the article. “Specifically, that means making sure that its staff is on the floor at the times that are busiest with shoppers. It also means allowing team members to pick up extra shifts, and earn overtime at a time of year when every little bit extra helps,” the article said.Target isn’t the only company investing in its employees––Chipotle recently implemented a new <a href="https://1851franchise.com/-guac-is-extra-but-education-is-free-chipotle-offers-tuition-coverage-for-hourly-employees-2711313">Chipotle Cultivate Education program</a> to cover its employees’ student debt loans.
