Although Thanksgiving is not soon, large retailers need to think about what promotions to offer its customers and how best to serve them. American retailer Macy’s Inc. said he intends to hire 18 000 temporary employees during the holiday season for processing online orders, packaging and delivery of goods. This is for 3000 people (or 20%) more than last year. but the increase in the number of vacancies is observed only in the area of fulfilling online orders. As for the total number of temporary staff for the festive season, it will be reduced. This year the company plans to create 80 000 seasonal jobs, not 83 000 like last year. Perhaps this is due to the fact that since last year, the chain of Department stores decreased by 70 stores (and before the end of the year plans to close another 30).
But the company Rival Target Corp. things are going more successfully. As previously reported, the company said it employs 43% more seasonal workersthan last year. The total number of vacancies will be 100 000. For the first time in 5 years Target increase the number of hired seasonal workers. This decision was taken due to the fact that the sales network has increased dramatically, the first time more than 12 months. The company is optimistic and believes that the coming holidays will not disappoint.
