No day has been like the day before
Silvia has a financial role in IKEA distribution services. She came from a small, local business and says she was impressed with the size of IKEA, the welcome feeling at the entrance and the friendly, informal manager that interviewed her. She has been with IKEA for about 20 years.
"In all these years, no day has been like the day before. To handle change and to work in the right way, I always discuss things with my colleagues."
"My job is one of the most important things in my life and often my work inspires me in my private life, making me feel strong and energised. Sometimes I think about what I would do if I won a big amount of money in a lottery or something. Would I stop working, just taking it easy? The answer is no. Working at IKEA gives me a broader perspective on my life."
