Working at Ingka Group

Our workplace

We want to be a company that people are proud to be a part of. Our culture and values are always at the heart of everything we do – and are what make us stand out from the crowd.

We are an engaged bunch of people with customers at heart, and down-to-earth people with a passion for home furnishing and a vision to create a better everyday for the many people.

Our culture of togetherness, enthusiasm and fun is at the heart of everything we do. And we’re always looking for people who want to be part of it.

According to our internal survey of more than 135,000 co-workers (2025), 79% feel engaged and proud of working for us, and 91% agree they have leaders who trust them to do their job in the best possible way. Our eNPS (Employee Net Promoter Score), a measure of how likely co-workers are to recommend us as a place to work, scored 24, compared to a global cross-sector benchmark of 2.

Our culture and values

Our values guide everything we do. When we act on them, our culture comes alive.

Born in harsh Swedish conditions, IKEA values reflect a heritage of resourcefulness, hard work, and pragmatism. While we’ve grown into a business operating in markets around the world, our core remains unchanged — and so does our belief that how we do things matters as much as what we do.

We’re straightforward, innovative, and practical problem-solvers. We constantly seek better ways forward and bring out the best in ourselves and each other. We nurture entrepreneurship and champion new solutions.

A great place to work

Learn and grow

We believe in learning that is accessible and relevant for all co-workers. We provide inclusive and continuous learning and skills development opportunities that align with co-workers’ aspirations and our business needs.

Wellbeing matters

We focus on safe workplaces, work-life balance, and togetherness, supported by our Employee Assistance Programme, mental health initiatives, and flexible self-scheduling. When our co-workers feel good and feel like they can thrive, we believe a better everyday life follows.

Leadership by all

We believe everyone has the potential to lead. By empowering all coworkers to test, try, learn and make decisions, we spark our entrepreneurial spirit and take responsibility together. Through our way of leading, we create more value for each other, and deliver an even better experience for our customers every day.

Equality, diversity and inclusion

The IKEA vision is to create a better everyday life for the many people. We believe that starts with how we treat each other — at work, with our customers, and beyond. We strive to reflect the communities that we serve and to make sure everyone feels welcome and respected.

Equality, diversity and inclusion have been fundamental to who we are for decades. It’s at the heart of our culture and values — shaping how we work, how we lead, and how we show up for each other every day — and makes us better for our co-workers and our customers.

We know there is still much work to be done. At Ingka Group, we continue focusing on equal opportunities at work, as well as championing equality at home.
