Target will cut roughly 500 jobs across its regional offices and distribution sites in the US, a move executives have said would allow the struggling retailer to invest in its stores and win back customers.
Target executives announced the reductions on Monday in internal email to employees, which was obtained by the BBC.
The cuts, along with a reorganisation of geographic store districts, will help the firm boost store staffing, adding "labor and hours where needed most", the note said.
The move is among the first strategic decisions made by new chief executive Michael Fiddelke, who was named to lead last year as the firm wrestled to reverse more than four years of stagnant sales.
The job cuts and restructuring add to the workforce reductions that started last October, when the firm announced its first major downsizing in a decade.
