We believe equality, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of our workplace feeling like home
At IKEA, we want everyone to feel welcome no matter where you come from, what you look like, how you organize your cupboards, or who you like to snuggle up in front of the TV with.
Diversity is good for all of us
Welcoming uniqueness is not just good for you, it's good for us too. We believe diverse teams bring new ideas, help us understand and support our customers better, and help us grow as an organisation. After all, everyone has a different way of looking at the world. So, who knows? Perhaps your unique take on something could lead to a great idea that helps make customers' and co-workers' lives at home a little bit better.

An inclusive workplace is a better workplace
As a co-worker, we don't want you just getting through the day, we want you to thrive. We believe that starts with feeling safe and being able to truly be yourself. And once we’ve brought you on board, we want you to stick around, because we’re planning on doing great things together.
Equality, diversity and inclusion makes us who we are - and shapes how we work with our co-workers, our customers and the communities we're part of. Diverse and inclusive teams help us be more creative and stay connected to the communities we serve.
Your next job? Being yourself.
When you come and work for us, we want you to bring your whole self: the bits you’re proud of, the messy and complicated bits, and the bits that haven’t yet had a chance to shine. To us your uniqueness is an asset. At IKEA, everyone is welcome.
Building a gender equal business
At Ingka, everyone deserves to feel safe to be themselves, treated fairly, and given equal opportunities — and that starts with how we work together every day.
We're working towards a gender-balanced business. In FY25, women made up 53.4% of our co-workers and 49.8% of management/leadership positions, and we reduced our gender pay gap to 3.4%, down from 4.0% the year before. We're continuing to work towards gender balance across our governing bodies and senior leadership, and towards closing the pay gap further. Read more in the Ingka Group Annual Summary and Sustainability Report FY25 (p. 51).
We contributed to and endorsed the United Nations Standards of Conduct on tackling discrimination against LGBT+ people in the workplace and in the community.
We have a global LGBT+ inclusion plan and trans inclusion guidelines to help managers build trans-inclusive teams and workplaces.
At IKEA, we believe in an inclusive work environment where there is room for everyone’s story.
