The key to our ongoing
success continues to be
our associates. Over 125,000 strong,
our associates bring the talent, inspiration and
leadership that are the foundation of the organization.
Our human resources initiatives are focused on attracting and recruiting
world-class associates, and being recognized as a great employer certainly
helps. Last year, Kohl’s was named one of the “Top-50 Best Places to
Launch a Career” by BusinessWeek magazine. Retaining and developing
these associates to be the best is the key to delivering operational
excellence and will continue to drive our growth over the long term.
A-Team
Kohl’s has always been a family-focused company with a rich history of
supporting its communities. We are proud to report that in 2007, through
our associates, customers and corporate fi nancial contributions, Kohl’s
provided approximately $42 million to our community programs across
the country.
Associates volunteer their time to support various youth-focused
charities through the Kohl’s A-Team. Their participation is matched
with corporate grants that are given to the youth-serving charities our
associates choose to support. This year, we are especially proud of
our A-Team members who volunteered more than 136,000 hours, which
more than doubled the number of hours volunteered in 2006 and raised
over $3.25 million dollars, a 164 percent increase over 2006.
From leading Girl Scout troops to organizing events for Special Olympics,
96 percent of our 929 stores had A-Teams volunteer for local causes
they cared about nationwide.
