Workplace & Benefits
We are part of a global family of co-workers and believe employing people of different backgrounds, experiences, and viewpoints helps us build strong teams. Our regional Service Office includes people from more than 25 countries, and diversity is a big part of what makes IKEA a fun place to work! Every co-worker can expect fair treatment regardless of ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, physical ability, age, or position in our company. Here you can always be yourself. In fact, we encourage it!
We are all in on fairness and inclusivity
We are a role model for diversity and inclusion in our markets. Scroll down to see how we make our workplaces count for more than 5,000 co-workers working across Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Mexico and the Philippines.
IKEA discounts
Co-workers are our most valued customers and are entitled to a 15% discount on any home furnishings and food sold in our stores, from the first day of work.
Maternity and paternity leave
We give mothers four consecutive months of maternity leave, and fathers receive four weeks of paid time off after a baby has arrived to help share the joys - and responsibilities - at home.
Gifts
We enjoy special occasions together and give gifts to mark seasonal celebrations, birthdays, marriage, the arrival of a baby. We reward loyalty through our Long Service Awards.
Work environment
As home furnishing experts, we take pride in providing inspiring workplaces that not just showcase our IKEA products but that also create a relaxed, open atmosphere where we work side by side.
Incentive plan
All co-workers may earn an annual financial reward when we meet our shared business objectives.
Co-worker restaurants
We serve fresh and healthy food at our co-worker restaurants, and subsidise meals. On peak days, the food may even be free!
Learning and development
We offer dozens of courses, from functional training and English lessons to advance leadership. All new co-workers get a buddy and on-the-floor coaching.
Making a positive impact
We are all entitled to a day of paid leave each year to work shoulder-to-shoulder with our charitable partners or volunteer for a good cause.
Part-time co-workers are full members of our family
To meet the demands of our customers, a job in retail and priorities and responsibilities in our own busy lives, we offer part-time work. Regardless, part-time co-workers as permanent members of our family – enjoying a fair (pro-rated) share that all the benefits our full-time co-workers enjoy – from medical coverage to annual incentive pay. That’s why many part-timers stay and grow with IKEA.
We're all in on fairness and inclusivity
We believe in people, so offering everyone equal opportunities just comes naturally to us.
