We’ve been inspired by theSkimm’s #ShowUsYourLeave campaign to join the conversation and share our paid family leave benefits! IKEA believes that the well-being of our co-workers should always be a top priority. We aim to provide our co-workers the flexibility to create a healthy balance in their work, families and communities. Learn more about our benefits at www.seeacareerwithus.com

As a commitment to our community, we have funded Nu Spiral, an interracial public art collective with an anti-bias, anti-racist lens. The collective was named in honor of Spiral, a collective of Black artists that formed in New York’s West Village during the 1960s. The Nu Spiral artists launched the project formally last August with the theme: “What does liberation for Black, Brown and poor folx look like?” The collective will be bringing three new underpass murals to New Haven this spring. Read more about the initiative.

In Swedish, “Dela” means to share, which is exactly what IKEA is all about!
