People: Thriving Team & Communities

We invest in people to support their growth and opportunity while building a stronger Target.

At Target, we invest in people across our business, supply chain and communities to fuel growth and opportunity while building a stronger Target. 

We provide our team with competitive pay and benefits and clear pathways for advancement, helping them build meaningful careers. And across our supply chain, we advance worker well-being and human rights.  

We also support the vibrant communities where we live and work. Since 1946, we have given 5% of our profits to communities in products, cash and through the Target Foundation,* and in 2025, our team members contributed over one million volunteer hours for the 10th time.  

 

* Calculated based on the average of the prior three years of Target’s pre-tax profits. Giving includes Target’s product and cash donations and Target Foundation’s cash donations. Excludes cash donations from Target to the Target Foundation.

Dream to Be

From Day One, Target’s U.S. team members can access Dream to Be — our tuition-free education assistance program designed to help team members build skills, advance their careers and drive growth and innovation. In 2025, we celebrated 10,000+ graduates since its launch in 2021. Dream to Be is one example of how we invest in tools and guidance, including around career pathing, to strengthen our frontline teams and support internal mobility.

Digital wages and financial security

We believe transitioning from cash to digital wage payment systems is a critical step in the path towards financial inclusion for all workers. Over the past five years, we have partnered across the industry to accelerate the transition to digital wage payments. Since 2022, an additional 449,000 global workers in our supply chain are now paid digitally — expanding financial inclusion and strengthening wage transparency at scale.

Volunteerism and Bullseye Builds

Like everything we do at Target, our impact on communities starts with our team and their dedication to the neighborhoods where they live and work. Target team members contributed more than one million volunteer hours to their communities in 2025, marking the 10th time we achieved this annual goal. Our signature Bullseye Builds program combines volunteerism with design expertise to restore, refresh and reimagine community spaces, such as parks, schools, libraries and resource centers, bringing more joy to our communities.
