Nordstrom makes election day an employee holiday
Nordstrom is making election day a holiday for all its U.S. employees so they can get to the polls, part of a larger “Make Your Voice Heard" nationwide voter participation initiative launched by the retailer.
While Nordstrom stores and operations centers will remain open on Nov. 3, the company will work with employees to set schedules that enable them to get to the polls, the company said. The company will offer employees discounted rides to the polls through Lyft.
Pete Nordstrom, president and chief brand officer of the Seattle-based retail chain, said the initiative is the direct result of feedback from 50,000 Nordstrom employees from all regions of the United States.
“They told us they want to be actively engaged in their communities and help find solutions to the challenges we're facing,” he said. “Enabling them to make their voices heard by voting is a meaningful and productive way we can support our people and our communities."
