Why work for IKEA? Because an IKEA job is so much more than a regular job.
When you work at IKEA you’re part of a team that appreciates you for who you are. A huge team that welcomes you with open arms and aspires to have a positive influence on millions of people around the globe. A team that grows together.
What’s it like to be an IKEA co-worker?
The IKEA family currently extends to more than 200.000 co-workers. When you ask them what they appreciate most about their job at IKEA, they typically say the IKEA culture and the friendly working environment. And being part of a team that achieves great things together.
Our shared values and culture are largely what makes IKEA unique, as a brand and as a place to work. Wherever you happen to be, you’ll always find co-workers who are putting their shared IKEA values into practice.
Growing together
A place where everyone plays their role
Every IKEA co-worker makes a valued contribution. When the going gets tough, we switch to “kraftsamlar” mode. That’s Swedish for “join forces”. Job titles and status count for nothing. At IKEA everyone is addressed by their first name and everyone has a voice.
We want you to take up the challenge of a job you know nothing about
At IKEA your qualifications and experience do not put a ceiling on what you can achieve. If you take the lead, you’ll get all the training and support you need to drive your career wherever you want to take it. Some 88% of all IKEA managers were promoted from within.
We go all in on equality, diversity and inclusion
It’s pretty obvious to us: a diverse, inclusive workplace where men and women are given equal opportunities is the best type of workplace. We have a perfect gender balance (50/50) in our management positions and are now working to make this the norm across our business by the end of 2022.
A positive impact
Millions of people love coming home thanks to IKEA
We believe that everyone has a right to a beautiful home that makes their life easier. And that everyone – not just the rich few – has a right to good design. At IKEA you work with all kinds of different people from every corner of the planet.
Being a good custodian of the planet by doing more with less
Last year our co-workers helped give 39 million returned, damaged and discontinued products a new lease of life That’s just one example of how we approach sustainability to fight product waste and become 100% circular by 2030.
We are looking for people who think lamps should be able to play music
Rules are there to be broken. Innovation demands it. Because you cannot make big leaps when you’re plodding along. We believe in the power of good ideas, especially when they come out of left field. That’s why we make musical lamps, beds disguised as sofas and sleep accessories that look suspiciously like blackout curtains.
The future is a better version of the present
We are sure that tomorrow can always be better and that we can all contribute to making that happen. All we need is an open, curious mind and a steely edge. We’re not completely sure where we’ll end up, but we’re looking forward to getting there. In a world where most things have not yet been done, our possibilities are endless.
Like to help people create a better everyday at home?
More than ever, home is the most important place in the world. And we are always looking for people who share our desire to make it a little safer, a little comfier and a litter prettier. Why not help us create a better everyday at home for as many people as possible around the globe?
