WORDS FROM THE MANAGER!
What inspire me and is the reason for loving my job at IKEA?
I would say it’s many things, first of all it’s a company with fantastic values and we are really using our values as a guiding star in everything we do.
But if we go into specifics what me (and hopefully you) can do to make a difference? One example is how we are set-up in our team. We as a team have the accountability of our product end to end, if we make a mistake that is fine. But it’s also us as a team that needs to solve the mistake and learn from it. To be able to take on this accountability we need to have a team with different personality and core skills in the Engineering sector. This is what inspire me, that one individual cannot solve everything, but as a team we can do magic!
