This Case Study event looked at Ikea‘s program that involves refugee participants spending two months working to gain local experience which then supports them to lay strong foundations for stable employment.
IKEA Australia shared how the program was implemented as a critical part of the organisation’s diversity and inclusion strategy:
- Why and how they implemented the program,
- How they engaged staff, and communicated their vision for the program,
