Staff at Swedish furniture giant Ikea will all be getting a slice of a €108m festive pot this year as the flat-pack phenomenon looks to cement itself as a great place to work.

According to a report from Swedish news website The Local, all full-time staff will receive the same amount despite their salary level, position, or where they work.

Irish workers can expect to net around €1,500, which will be added to their pensions. Part-time workers will receive bonuses that match up with the hours they have worked.

Ikea human relations manager Karin Bergman told The Local the company wanted to be an amazing place to work, where people would thrive and stay.

"We know that our colleagues primarily want to work for us because we are a values-based company with a focus on development."
