IKEA Japan's Co-worker Benefits

We are always guided by IKEA's vision of creating a better everyday life for customers and co-workers. The company has many benefits on offer to help co-workers have a secure, active and long career.

"Hatarakueru" is a welfare commendation/certification system for private companies that certified IKEA Japan as a welfare promotion corporation for our extensive benefits and efforts to make sure they are used.

Co-worker discount

Every co-worker can buy IKEA products at discount. We want our co-workers to experience better sustainable living by using many of our products.

We have a co-worker restaurant (canteen) for you to have delicious meals prepared by IKEA Food co-workers, and a system where the company pays part of the price.

Tools and Opportunities for Learning

Grow your talents with free access to tools like 'LinkedIn Learning', an online tool for learning business skills, and 'Rosetta Stone', a platform for learning languages.

Paid Annual Leave

Paid time off to enjoy the things you like to do most. You get these based on your weekly hours and how many years you have worked with us. You can go on a long vacation or take a series of short vacations. It is up to you how you use it!

Special Leave with Pay

Life can unfold in countless different ways. Co-workers can take special paid leave so that they can continue to work and grow at IKEA while experiencing various life stages such as marriage, childbirth/child care, and family care.

DAGIS (Office childcare facility)

DAGIS is an office childcare facility where co-workers can leave their children during their working hours. This facility, staffed by certified childcare workers, is linked with IKEA Tokyo-Bay and IKEA Nagakute.

Co-workers are reimbursed for transport from their homes to their place of work.

IKEA holds yearly Christmas parties and gives surprise Christmas presents to thank co-workers for their contribution over the year.

For my Health and Well-being

Life Insurance

Should such life events occur, we provide celebratory and bereavement allowances to our co-workers and their families.

Social insurance

All full-time regular employees and part-time regular employees are covered by the government's Employees' Pension Insurance, Health Insurance, Employment Insurance, Workers' Accident Compensation Insurance, and Nursing Care Insurance (for those over 40), with the company (IKEA) and employees (co-workers) each paying a 50-50 share.

We show our appreciation for your contribution to IKEA with our loyalty programme, Tack! The amount contributed from Tack! is accumulated in each individual's retirement plan.

This is IKEA's original achievement-based bonus scheme. Every co-worker contributes to achieving (and exceeding) our goals, and everyone deserves credit for the growth we have achieved together.

Long-service Awards

IKEA hopes that you will stay with us for many years. We recognise the loyalty of long-term co-workers with service awards at their 5th, 10th and 25th anniversaries with us.
