Hi, would you be available and suitable for the contract below?

JOB: – Change Management – Malmo/Remote (263380)

Description:

Background

People planning processes and connected digital tools are critical to

successful, efficient and compliant operations of IKEA.

They secure that co-workers are available at the right time at the right place to support our operational needs; that schedules are created, made available and kept updated based on co-workers’ availability; that time cards are created, reviewed and are base for correct salary payment.

Ingka operates globally, and this role will include supporting countries in different time zones, sometimes outside of your normal working hours.

Travel Required:

Yes – If requested by IKEA

Today we see development needs related to people planning in several

areas:

1. We want to improve flexibility in schedules to increase co-worker retention.

2. The omni channel landscape creates new demands in the meetings with the customer - we want to update processes and tools to enable co-worker schedules across an omnichannel environment.

3. Systems need replacement or upgrade to not risk business continuity - we must replace digital solutions prior to end-of-life dates.

4. High complexity due to local labor laws and social partner needs - we want to standardize our people planning processes and tool across markets while securing sufficient degree of localization to fit the market needs.

The transformation program "People Planning Acceleration"is started to

resolve these business needs.

Given the scale of the change and accelerated timelines, Ingka’s internal teams need external support to execute effective Change, Communication, and Training (CCT) strategies.

These are critical to ensuring high adoption, reduced resistance to change, and smooth transitions for the workforce across countries.
