Target's New CEO Tackles Community Struggles Head-On

The new leader of Target, Fiddelke, is stepping into the role at a tough time. In just a week, they'll officially take charge, but the community is facing serious issues. Violence and loss of life have been hitting close to home for many, including Fiddelke, who lives and raises a family in the Twin Cities. Fiddelke wants everyone to know that this isn't the start they envisioned. The safety of Target's team and customers is their top concern. They're working hard to manage what they can, but the situation is heavy on everyone's minds.Target has always been about community support. For over 20 years, they've given back 5% of profits and millions of volunteer hours to make their communities better places. Fiddelke is continuing this tradition by meeting with local leaders and signing a statement. The goal? To encourage calm, constructive dialogue and reduce tension. In their first week, Fiddelke plans to spend time in the field, listening and learning from the teams. Then, they'll bring everyone together to discuss how to move the business forward. The leadership team is ready, HR is prepared, and resources are in place to support the team. Fiddelke wants to thank everyone for their hard work. They're not just colleagues but neighbors, friends, and family members. Together, they can make a difference in their communities.
