IKEA co-workers

We have smartphones, smartwatches, and smart homes, but what about working smart? Is multitasking, skipping breaks, or having a calendar fully booked with meetings really working smart? Is that the best way to work smart for both business and people? Under our theme “Work Smarter,” you’ll find inspiration to work more efficiently and sustainably.

At IKEA, the concept of working smart is close to our heart, with key values such as simplicity, renewal, and meaningful difference. But it’s common for all of us to feel overwhelmed by how to prioritize our time when everything seems important. It’s easy to try to compensate by running faster, booking more meetings, and skipping breaks.

Mental health and well-being are closely connected to feeling in control of your work situation. Adding more structure and recharging into your workday can make a real difference in your well-being.

This spring, we will offer you inspiration to work smarter, aimed at being more sustainable as human beings by focusing on structure and recharging. This approach also encourages working more efficiently, healthily, and perhaps even becoming happier. Welcome to join us!

Work smarter with structure

Is there a remedy for stress, overtime and working too much? If you ask David Stiernholm, the answer is yes.

He will show you that structure is neither difficult nor boring and it actually gives you more time for what is important to you at work and in your daily life.

Let’s talk about mental wellbeing

In this talk with IKEA Leaders we will explore how our own way of handling everyday work-life affects our stress levels and how structure and recharging can support us.

It is about working smarter as a way of being more sustainable as humans and at the same time being more efficient. Smart for people and smart for business!
