Associate Groups


In the U.S. and Canada, we have seven active Associate Resource Groups (ARGs) organized for networking, development, and support for Associates at our corporate headquarters and in our Loss Prevention (LP) department. We are also pleased that in 2018, our ARG that supports veterans expanded to distribution centers in Georgia and Arizona. Our ARGs sponsor educational, volunteer, and social events in a comfortable venue.

While informal, these groups are also well organized. Every year, each ARG develops an annual business plan describing their goals and objectives, are provided with an annual operating budget, money for charitable giving and/or community programs, a liaison from Human Resources, and an executive sponsor. The groups host a wide range of events each year, including educational programming for group members as well as for the general Association population, volunteer opportunities, and fundraising initiatives.

Key highlights from our ARGs include:

  • The Multicultural Coalition (MCC) hosted a Hispanic Heritage celebration featuring Latin music and a renowned guest speaker to raise awareness to Associates about Hispanic culture.
  • Women Adding Value Everyday (WAVE) hosted an expert confidence speaker who educated and empowered our Associates on ways to build confidence, and our WAVE LP group in the U.S. continued their involvement with Making Strides against Breast Cancer by bringing together over 1,000 Associates, their families, and their friends, raising over $139,000 this year. Over the last nine years, the group has raised $1.3 million.
  • TJX LGBTQ Associates and Allies (PRIDE) hosted an external speaker to help increase awareness and education of the transgender community and sponsored the PRIDE parade near our corporate headquarters and a few others throughout the country.
  • Supporting TJX Armed Forces Relations (STAR) sponsored two collection drives for Operation American Solider, netting 75 boxes filled with a variety of goods and 160 pounds of candy to be delivered to deployed soldiers.
  • Leadership, Education, and Adaptation for Disabilities (LEAD) put on an anti-bullying and suicide prevention workshop to increase awareness on the topic and to encourage participants to be more than a bystander.
