Bed Bath & Beyond announces new employee benefits

With companies having to compete for workers to fill job openings, Bed Bath & Beyond has announced a number of new employee benefits. Starting July 1, the retailer will implement three new paid benefit programs including paid parental leave, short-term disability, and an associate relief fund. The company will also close its stores on Thanksgiving Day, the latest retailer to announce that step as holiday sales and promotions increasingly move online.
