Ingka Group / IKEA

Founding sponsor, 2018

“IKEA are founding sponsors of the Total Rewards Academy Programme, and we have acted as classroom hosts to participants from around the world here at IKEA HQ in Malmo over the last 3 years. The courses – and accompanying certification – provide us with a common learning platform for our Reward professionals worldwide, and we continue to encourage our colleagues to participate alongside peers from other leading European companies.”

“During my time at LEO Pharma and Novo Nordisk I found The Total Rewards Academy an excellent way to learn and discuss the theories and practices of rewards with peers from different companies while getting the much sought after WorldatWork GRP® certification. It gives great insights to why certain approaches are favored over others, but also provides the opportunity to hear what other leading companies are doing and while doing so extending your professional network.”

Built on a brief from Novo Nordisk.

The Novo Nordisk executive group challenged our team to deliver an accelerated three-week programme for their 50-strong international rewards team members that could be completed in one year.

The pilot was a major success. In the years that followed, 60 leading international companies have sponsored the programme and have sent over 400 of their Rewards professionals to us.
