What’s it like being an IKEA co-worker?
The IKEA family of co-workers currently numbers over 200,000. When asked what they value most, they usually say the IKEA culture and the friendly workplace that it offers. And being part of a team that’s doing good things together.
Our shared values and culture is a large part of what makes IKEA unique, both as a brand and a workplace. Visit any IKEA unit anywhere in the world and you’ll find co-workers putting their shared IKEA values into practice.
Growing together
We’re all-in on equality, diversity and inclusion
For us it’s a no-brainer. A diverse, inclusive and gender-equal workplace is a better workplace. We now have a 50/50 gender balance in our management positions and are working towards making this a reality throughout our business by 2022.

Making a positive impact
Make millions of people look forward to coming home
We believe that everyone has the right to a beautiful home that makes their lives easier. And that good design is for everyone, not just the rich. So, when you work with us, you’re actually working for all kinds of people all over the world.
Flexibility for all
We provide flexible arrangements where our co-workers are empowered to reach a balanced and healthy work life balance. We want our co-workers to join and stay with us, not just because of the work we do, but because of how we do it.
Rewards that work for real life
At IKEA, we want every co-worker to feel recognised, supported, and motivated—no matter who they are or where they’re from.
Our approach to rewards is simple and fair. We aim to offer a consistent experience that also feels personal and meaningful.
Our guiding principles are:
- Equal rewards – We treat everyone fairly and with respect.
- Sustainable rewards – We think long-term, for people and planet.
- Flexible and personal – Because life isn’t one-size-fits-all.
- Performance matters – We celebrate contribution and growth.
- Competence counts – Your skills and role shape your reward.
Working with us has its rewards

We’re looking for people who think a lamp should play music
Rules are made to be broken, right? After all, we didn’t get where we are today by following the crowd. We believe in the power of a good idea, especially an unexpected one, which is why we make musical lamps, beds disguised as sofas and sleep aids that look suspiciously like blackout blinds.
The future is an upgraded version of today
We believe that tomorrow can always be better and that we can all play our part in improving things. All it takes is an open and curious mind and some elbow grease. We don’t know exactly where we’re going to end up, but we’re looking forward to the journey. And in a world where most things remain undone, our choices are endless.
Want to help millions of people create better lives at home?
Now more than ever, home is the most important place in the world. And we’re always looking for people who share our desire to make that place a little safer, more comfortable and more beautiful. So why not join us in improving the many people’s lives around the world?
