We're a company that cares about the lives of our co-workers. It's important for us that you feel respected, acknowledged, and included. No matter what position we hold at IKEA, you'll have a variety of benefits. Here are just some of them:  

• We provide you with financial support for transportation, followed by free IKEA bus.  
• We will subsidize meal allowance and you will always have affordable cooked meals (meat or veggie) in our co-worker restaurant and free refreshments (coffee, juices, fruit). 
• We believe that each of us contributes to reaching (and exceeding) our goals. That's the idea behind our unique, performance-driven bonus program: One IKEA Bonus. It rewards us for improving our business – together! 
• Is there an additional room you would like to refurbish? As an IKEA co-worker, you have discounts on all our products. 
• Your health and well-being are our top priorities, so we provide you private medical subscription and life insurance.
• We understand that everyone needs help with life challenges and daily demands from time to time. We offer you 24/7 support from external experts if needed with work, personal and emotional issues, or you need legal or financial advice.
• There are many opportunities to grow so we will arrange you with a wide offer of online training using our learning platform and if you want to change your career or position, you don't need to change company to change a job – we have many opportunities and examples of our co-workers changing position, location or even country
