Some of the best known companies in the United States including Costco, Home Depot and TJ Maxx have taken a family-first approach to American Thanksgiving after watching “Black Friday” (the day after Thanksgiving named as such since it’s the day many retailers “get in the black” for the year) increasingly encroaching on one of America’s biggest family holidays.
It’s always great to see companies that recognize the importance of their workers having good work-life balance and the difference this can make to their own bottom lines, even if it means sacrificing one day’s profits.
