Start your day with a Hej!*
Our culture
Enthusiasm, togetherness, and a “get-it-done” attitude is what our culture is built upon. We’re optimists, constantly looking for new and better ways to do things. Whether it comes to designing a rocking chair that fits into a flat pack or creating LED light bulbs everyone can afford. Our values are the foundation of our work. They ensure that all of us have a comfortable place to be our best according to our diverse backgrounds and ideas.
*That's how we say “Hello” in Swedish!
“Maintaining a strong IKEA culture is one of the most crucial factors behind the continued success of the IKEA concept.”
It’s our priority to keep you safe and healthy.
IKEA’s COVID-19 response.
In the context of COVID-19, every day brings a new reality. We are continuously evaluating our actions to ensure we’re making the right decision – always putting safety first, for our co-workers, suppliers, customers, and communities.
Of course, all of IKEA’s locations have health protocols in place, such as face-covering, physical distancing, temperature checks for co-workers, rigorous cleaning, and strict capacity limits.
IKEA requires all co-workers to report their COVID-19 vaccination status (whether vaccinated or not). Co-workers are required to report vaccination status within three days of hire. If vaccinated, co-workers are required to provide proof of vaccination.
Becoming a world leader in equality.
Diversity and inclusion
We value and celebrate individual differences and encourage our co-workers to be themselves because the uniqueness of each person makes IKEA better. We believe that being treated fairly and being given equal opportunities is a universal right, regardless of age, gender identity, sexual orientation, physical ability, ethnicity, race, nationality, religion or any other dimension of one’s identity.
We recruit and welcome people from diverse groups, because a great mix of minds, talents, and personalities not only makes us stronger, wiser, and better, it also reflects our customer base worldwide. This is another way of making the IKEA vision to create a better everyday life for the many people, a reality.
Your uniqueness makes us better.
