HEALTH CARE

At Designer Brands, we offer robust healthcare plans including medical, prescription, vision, 24/7 telemedicine coverage and dental. Transgender benefits are also covered! On top of all that, we offer a health care concierge to simplify your benefits and provide an enhanced experience when you need care or have healthcare questions.

FAMILY PLANNING AND SUPPORT

You are family at Designer Brands, and we are here for you and your growing family to provide inclusive benefits for every unique path to parenthood. We offer fertility benefits, a maternity management app and coaching, adoption assistance and counseling, and paid parental leave for both moms and dads in the event of childbirth, adoption, or a foster event. 

PEACE OF MIND

Life can be unpredictable, and we’re here to support you wherever it takes you. Designer Brands offers various paid and unpaid leaves of absence, including company-paid short-term disability. Long-term disability and life insurance also protect you and your family's financial security. Additionally, you and your family have free unlimited, confidential 24/7 support available through our Employee Assistance Program to speak with licensed counselors, work/life specialists, legal and financial assistance, and more.

SAVINGS & FINANCIAL WELL-BEING

Designer Brands offers a competitive 401(k) retirement savings plan, and our company match = free money for you!  On top of that, we offer financial well-being tools whether you're trying to pay off debt, plan for the future, protect your identity or just save for a rainy day. Accident, critical illness, and hospital indemnity insurance options provide you cash benefits for added protection. We also offer a variety of pre-tax accounts that you can use to pay for healthcare, dependent care, and commuter expenses! 

A CULTURE OF LEARNING

We believe in helping you own your development and achieve your professional goals. We invest in you through our Tuition Reimbursement program, our Learning Team, and through our partnership with a university to help make your dollars go even further. Your family members are eligible for benefits with our university partnership, too!

FIND YOUR FIT

We’re committed to celebrating our diversity and leading with an inclusive mindset. Inclusion means we have many voices at the table, with every perspective adding to the dialog. Through this work, we inspire authenticity and empowerment to drive the best experience for our associates, customers, and communities. Associate-driven groups organize around a shared interest or common diversity dimension which foster an inclusive and engaging work environment. We have groups supporting millennials, female leadership, people of color, the LGBTQ+ community, working parents, and more.
