Our employees fill many different roles as parents, partners, caregivers, and friends, so we design our benefits to support employee well-being inside and outside of work. We offer a wide range of benefits that will be valuable to any employee regardless of their stage of life.
401(k) Matching
Our U.S. retirement plan has more than 90% participation, attributable to both our automatic enrollment and our discretionary match, which has the potential for a generous Company match. For nine out of the last 13 years, our discretionary Company match was well above market.
\nIn 2022, Carter\u2019s offered eligible employees a 100% match to their 401(k) contributions up to 4% of eligible earnings contributed to the plan by employees.

New Benefits
We offer a comprehensive benefits package\u2014which we regularly review and update\u2014to employees across the U.S. in our retail stores, distribution centers, and office/corporate locations. Since the start of 2022, we have added several new benefits to support employees.\n
Carter\u2019s Advance You\u2122
Carter\u2019s recognizes the value of education, as shown by our tuition-free degree program, Advance You\u2122, through Bright Horizons. Program costs are directly covered by Carter\u2019s up to an annual limit, so eligible employees don\u2019t have to pay out of pocket for reimbursement. Program features include:
- Advance You\u2122 Fast Track Degree Program: Employees can earn general education credits online at an accelerated pace and then transfer to an accredited partner college to complete a bachelor\u2019s degree.
- Career Online High School: Employees can earn an accredited high school diploma and a career certificate in a chosen field.
- myTime ENGLISH: Employees can develop proficiency in speaking, reading, and writing if English is not their primary language.
- Coaching: Employees can receive support from experienced coaches to learn about program options, discuss a personalized education plan, and receive continued guidance throughout their educational journey.
Menopause Support
Eligible employees can now utilize the service of our partner Maven for menopause support as part of their comprehensive digital reproductive and family health program. The benefit provides employees experiencing menopause with 24/7 access to unlimited virtual appointments with providers specializing in the menopause journey. It also offers a dedicated Care Advocate to help employees navigate health benefits and connect to in-person support if needed.
Foster Care Leave
U.S. and Canada full-time employees with at least one year of continuous service on the date of foster care placement are eligible for up to 10 days of Foster Care Leave time.
\u201cI\u2019m very grateful to Carter\u2019s for adding foster care benefits, as families come in all different forms. As a new foster parent to a three-year-old, these benefits will have a positive impact as we settle in together as a family.\u201d
\u2014 Hannah Aarsvold, Corporate Office
Cancer Care Program
Cancer Care Direct is a free benefit to ensure no one goes through a cancer diagnosis alone. This program is designed to guide eligible employees to oncologists and specialists at each stage in their journey and to support them every step of the way. It also provides access to financial benefits and incentives.
Expanded Benefits for Employees in Canada
In mid-2022, we expanded the full-time U.S. community benefits (Matching Gift program and Carter\u2019s In the Classroom program) to Canada full-time employees. And in 2023, we expanded the availability of the Headspace mental health app from the U.S. to also include full-time Canada employees.
Enhanced Bereavement Leave
We have shifted to an enhanced global policy of five days of paid bereavement leave for full-time employees in the U.S., Asia, and Canada. Since 2022, we have also included pregnancy loss in the definition of qualifying family members for bereavement.
