Target Expands RTO: 3 Days/Week For Most In September
Just last month, FOX 9 reported that Target employees at the company’s downtown Minneapolis headquarters are expected to work from the office at least five weeks per year. It was one of the least stringent RTO policies in the Fortune 500 and the least in Minnesota specifically.
But things have changed at Target in July, according to a Twin Cities Business article.
Target Corp. told select departments at its Minneapolis headquarters they are expected in the office three days per week starting September 2, 2025. This marks a major shift toward more structured in-person work.
Here’s what you need to know about Target’s return-to-office policy.

Target, which employs over 7,000 workers at its downtown headquarters, remains one of the largest employers in the city.
The announcement came via email from Chief Commercial Officer Rick Gomez, who said, “More time together, in the office, will help us grow our business faster, solve problems quickly, and build stronger relationships.”
Target has historically avoided a top-down RTO mandate, instead giving team leaders autonomy. This latest development represents the most concrete move toward regular in-office expectations since the pandemic began.
