Advice to Management

Given the generous pay, IKEA managers’ incentives are lucrative with little consideration for their workers. Managers should be facilitating professional growth of their workers and go through rigorous leadership training. The high turnover rate of workers is a testament to the managements poor leadership and juvenile handling of accountability, professionalism, and thorough training. Management also encourages a corporate hazing culture that fosters office politics and, as a result, devalues the workplace and discourages merit based recognition and growth.
