What: The first social capital report from Macy’s

Why it is important: at times when major companies are held accountable and full transparency is requested, Macy’s goes deep into giving statistics about its workforce.

Macy’s released a new report which gives a perspective on how diverse its workforce is, and the challenges lying ahead: be accountable and transparent, promote equality of chances, improve diversity representation at the senior level director and above (24% today, 30% to be reached by 2025).

This report also addresses the new working methods for Macy’s employees: remote working when it is possible, shared work spaces in offices and socially-distance break rooms in stores. Interestingly, the report also hints at the needed investments to sustain remote working (delocalized call centres, extension of VPN licences).
