IKEA Culture

Start your day with a Hej!*

Our culture

consultingEnthusiasm, 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.”

Ingvar Kamprad, IKEA founder

We know that life experience can be as valuable as work experience in shaping your skills and strengths. No matter if you’re a people person, a tech-wiz or simply love home furnishings, there’s a place for you at IKEA U.S. Everyone’s contribution has the power to positively impact lives—and that’s what makes working at IKEA so much more than a job.

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.
