About us

When hiring, consideration is given to the competence, knowledge, and experience of applicants, aiming to select the individual who best fits the role and aligns with the company’s values.

A good work environment is key to employee well-being and optimal performance. We work toward this daily by promoting positive communication, clear information flow, mutual respect, and professional management. A positive and healthy workplace culture is further supported through regular events, information meetings, and training sessions, to name a few.

We support health and well-being by offering health counseling, annual health screenings, access to healthy and nutritious food in the staff cafeteria, job flexibility, and events that promote morale and well-being at work.

A key element in maintaining motivation and satisfaction is providing employees with opportunities to grow in their roles. IKEA employees can participate in various courses and educational programs, shift to new positions, and work their way up to more responsible roles. It is each individual’s responsibility to pursue personal development. Everyone is the architect of their own future!

We promote an environment where employees can easily balance personal life and work. We understand and respect the importance of family and personal life. This mutual respect helps us achieve success together..

Diversity is the key to success. Being true to ourselves and contributing through our uniqueness allows everyone to grow. At IKEA, we embrace all dimensions of diversity. A diverse and inclusive workplace is beneficial for our coworkers, our customers, and our business. Caring for people and celebrating diversity are core to our values and vision. We are committed to creating a work environment where everyone is welcome, respected, supported, and valued—no matter who they are or where they come from. We firmly believe that the uniqueness of each individual makes IKEA better.

Equality Plan

With IKEA’s equality plan, the company aims to ensure that each individual is valued on their own merits and that full equality is maintained among employees. Gender-based discrimination of any kind is prohibited within the company. The IKEA equality plan is enforced in the following ways:

• Equal opportunity must be ensured in all departments during recruitment and job transfers.
• Equal pay and benefits must be provided for comparable performance and roles.
• Work-life balance must be respected.
• Everyone should have equal opportunities to develop in their role and enhance their knowledge.
• Bullying and sexual harassment are not tolerated among employees. Anyone found engaging in such behavior may be dismissed without notice.

Progress on our human resources policy is monitored through monthly key performance indicator reviews, annual workplace surveys, and employee performance reviews.

It’s about being the best version of yourself and bringing out the best in others.

We are constantly looking for new and better ways to move forward.

IKEA is not like other companies—and we intend to keep it that way.

We want to be a force for positive change, today and for future generations.

We continuously challenge ourselves and others to do more with less, without compromising on quality.

When we trust each other, stay positive, and think ahead, it inspires everyone to contribute to the development of IKEA.

We are strong when we trust each other, move in the same direction, and enjoy working together.

Simplicity is about staying true to yourself and keeping both feet on the ground.

As a home furnishings company, IKEA relies on specialists in visual merchandising and interior design, graphic design, and skilled trades. The store requires constant improvement and updates to always stay in good condition.

Within IKEA’s customer service department, roles can be found throughout the store—from customer reception and children's play area supervision to cashier services, returns desk, and customer support.

IKEA’s logistics department ensures that the flow of goods from supplier to customer is as direct and efficient as possible, with minimal environmental impact. This includes the transportation and handling of goods in distribution centers and in stores.

The IKEA food services department offers a variety of roles within six areas – the restaurant, the café, the IKEA Bistro, the Swedish Food Market, the bakery, and the staff cafeteria.

Our sales staff present the product range and support the IKEA self-service system daily. This requires sales skills along with knowledge of IKEA’s customers, philosophy, and product selection.

At the company office, specialists work in a range of areas including marketing, translation, human resources, finance, IT and technology, product and sales management, B2B services, design, and more.

The company has security guards on duty 24/7. Their role is to ensure safety within the store and on all work premises. They are specially trained in first aid and emergency response.
