Target Corp. (TGT) is enhancing worker benefits, including the introduction of paid family leave.

The leave program, which can be used for "welcoming a new baby, adopting a child or caring for a partner or ailing parent," starts June 30. It covers hourly and salaried workers, including part-time employees.

The retailer said "we've taken a strong position on minimum starting wages, but that's just one facet of our team member experience."

Target, which initially rolled out a backup care program at its headquarters, said it is extending this to hourly and salaried employees at all stores and distribution centers.
