More than 170,000 employees are due to receive the one-time bonus by Ikea owner Ingka Group.
Ikea will pay a total of €110m in bonuses to employees worldwide as reward for their work during the pandemic, Ingka Group, the firm that operates most Ikea’s stores, said.
The group said the coronavirus crisis forced it to move much of its brick-and-mortar business online, even as sales remained robust with more people in lockdown buying furniture and housewares.
The holding company that controls the majority of Ikea’s stores, Ingka, said the bonuses would be paid to employees across all markets and vary depending on salaries.
It would be added to the general annual bonuses employees receive based on the company’s annual performance.
