Employee Safety
Our employees’ safety and well-being are of the utmost importance at Carter’s, and we foster our safety culture through policies, trainings, and communications. If an injury does occur on the job, we support our employees to ensure they get the treatment they need. Additionally, we provide temporary, light-duty positions for employees with injury-related restrictions and all regular U.S. employees are eligible for workers’ compensation.
Our distribution centers take a proactive approach to employee safety by regularly using start-of-shift meetings to spread awareness on how to prevent injuries, including both acute and repetitive injuries. They also have safety managers to further support a healthy workplace.
Our efforts to restore the health of our injured employees so they may return to work as quickly as possible have resulted in a reduction in our financial reserve for workers’ compensation claims.
