Diversity & Inclusion

Diversity is a key to success, diversity comes in all shapes and sizes.

Being ourselves, and contributing with our uniqueness, makes us all grow.

At IKEA group, we welcome all dimensions of diversity. A diverse and inclusive workplace is good for our co-workers, for our customers and our business.

We strive to have a diverse and inclusive work environment where co-workers feel valued for their uniqueness, recognised for their diverse talents, and where everyone can be themselves.

Inclusion

Caring for People and Diversity & Inclusion are embedded in our values and in our vision. We believe in creating a work environment where all co-workers feel welcomed, respected, supported and appreciated, no matter who they are or where they come from.

At IKEA, this means building collaborative ways of working and practicing inclusive behaviours every day. It is about making the most of our differences.

We believe the uniqueness of every individual makes IKEA better

Inclusion is everyone’s responsibility

Gender equality

We see gender equality at the heart of human rights. Our ambition is to reach gender equality at IKEA Group which goes beyond a 50/50% gender balance in all levels and positions. Gender equality is also about creating an inclusive culture where women and men are valued for their unique contributions and impact the culture of the organisation in their unique and complementing ways. Because when people have the same opportunities to grow everyone wins.

Equality works better!

That’s why IKEA Group fosters a work environment that enables women and men to succeed equally – all over the world, 365 days a year.

International Women’s Day

On March 8 we celebrate International Women’s Day, honouring the effort to build a more inclusive and equal world. As a humanistic company we believe that gender equality is good for our co-workers and our customers. That’s why we treat all co-workers fairly as we work together to close the gender gap and any other inequalities.

LGBT+ Inclusion

We support our LGBT+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender + all other sexual orientations and gender identities) co-workers´ right to be themselves. Our aim is to create a fully inclusive work environment and to provide equal opportunities, contributing to a positive change in all areas of our business and in society.

Did you know?

We have joined Workplace Pride and Stonewall, two organisations that strive for greater acceptance of people of all sexual orientations and gender identities (LGBT+). We have also co-created and endorsed the UN Standards of Conduct on tackling discrimination against LGBT+ people in the workplace and in the community.

International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia (IDAHOT)

The LGBT+ community still faces many challenges in the workplace. Those who identify as LGBT+ are far more at risk of discrimination and intimidation at work, with many refusing to reveal their sexual orientations to colleagues for fear of the reaction.

More than just lending our voice in support of IDAHOT, IKEA is committed to ensuring that every co-worker has the right to be treated fairly and be given equal opportunities regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

For us, celebrating IDAHOT means committing to creating an inclusive work environment where all our LGBT+ co-workers feel welcomed, respected and appreciated for who they are.

On December 10 we celebrate Human Rights Day recognising the inherent dignity and absolute rights of all human beings on the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world.
