Supporting Our Employees

We want to be a company where people can stretch their capabilities and build their careers in an environment that reflects and respects their values. With 150,000 employees around the globe, we place a priority on providing a supportive environment in which they can flourish.

An Ethical and Inclusive Workplace

We are dedicated to creating a workplace in which the rights, needs and unique contributions of every employee are consistently respected. Just as we hold approved garment manufacturers accountable for complying with all applicable laws and treating workers with dignity and respect, we hold ourselves accountable as well, and our policies reflect that.

Our Code of Business Conduct helps ensure that we do business in a responsible way that is consistent with our values. A 24-hour confidential hotline allows employees and others to call anonymously if they suspect a violation.
Gap Inc. is an equal opportunity employer.
Our Zero Means Zero policy is our commitment to an environment free from harassment and discrimination.
Under our open-door policy, employees are encouraged to raise questions, concerns or suggestions, and to reach out to managers, supervisors and our Human Resources team as needed.

Benefits That Matter

Employee benefits range from a generous merchandise discount to a gift-matching program for both charitable donations and volunteer time. Full-time employees also have access to medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance as well as a 401(k) plan to those with one year of employment. This plan features dollar-for-dollar company matching contributions up to four percent of pay, with 100 percent immediate vesting. In addition, employees can participate in our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) and purchase Gap Inc. stock at a discount that’s at least 15 percent below market rates.

In the United States, most benefits are available to full-time employees on their first day and are extended to their eligible dependents, including children, spouses and same-sex life partners. In other countries, similar benefits are offered depending on the benefit plan and location.

Gap Inc. has received a 100% score on the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index, which rates companies on key indicators of fair treatment for GLBT employees.
