TK Maxx has become the latest brand to relaunch its online operations
after introducing new health and safety measures.
The American department store chain has implemented new social
distancing practices at its facilities, provided personal protection for
its employees and enhanced its cleaning and sanitation procedures.
The company has also worked with its delivery partner Hermes to
introduce a new ‘contactless delivery’ service to ensure the safety of its
drivers and customers. To facilitate the process, the Hermes app now has a
new ‘My Places’ feature which allows customers to upload a picture of their
package drop-off spot and leave notes for the driver.
The company joins a growing list of fashion retailers, including New
Look, Fenwick and Quiz, who all relaunched online operations in the past
few weeks after implementing similar safety measures.
Earlier this week, TK Maxx and Homesense Foundation announced a 1.7
million pound programme in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, with 1
million pounds going towards a special Community Fund helping fund local
grassroots charities, and the remaining 700,000 pounds going towards a
Tackle Covid-19 Fund for mental health charities and front line medical
charities.
