Meet Emma

 

Emma is an Assistant Store Manager of Customer Service and Operations.  She is responsible for managing in-store operations, which includes customer service, planning of store recruitment, interviewing, hiring, training and Associate development.  She oversees the efficient operation of key areas such as service areas (frontline, fitting rooms and jewelry) and maintenance functions, cash office, markdowns, store/associate file administration and scheduling functions.  She also assists in managing truck receipt, processing of merchandise, merchandising standards and presentation.  Emma models TJX Canada values and ensures the values are embedded in the daily interaction with Associates and Customers.

 

When Emma first came on board, she said it was easy to embrace our organizational values because they mirrored her own.  Emma is genuine, engaging and approachable.  She currently holds the top score for her department ping pong tournament team, you should see the celebration dance after a big win! Let’s just say she could be a professional break-dancer.  If it weren’t for individuals like Emma joining us, we wouldn’t be known as an employer that lives by its values on a daily basis. So thanks Emma. We couldn’t be us without you.
