A selection of our benefits
-
Flexibility and balance in everyday life
We offer flexible working hours and hybrid work arrangements where appropriate for the business. At the same time, we value the sense of community at our offices, where we connect through day-to-day work as well as activities such as fika, breakfast gatherings, and frequent Lunch & Learn sessions. Our ambition is to create a sustainable everyday work life – both professionally and personally.
-
Additional flexibility when life changes
We offer IVL Part-Time, which allows employees in Sweden to temporarily reduce their working hours, typically to 80%. The arrangement is tailored in dialogue with the manager and may apply for approximately 12–24 months. This provides greater flexibility during different life stages, while maintaining a clear connection to work and continued professional development.
-
Additional time for recovery
We recognise that recovery is essential for long-term performance. As an employee, you are of course entitled to annual leave in accordance with statutory requirements, and we encourage extended periods of leave to support proper recovery.
In addition to your annual leave, we offer working time reduction ("ATK") in Sweden. As a full-time employee, you receive up to 40 hours per year that can be taken as additional time off. This provides extra flexibility in daily life and the opportunity to recover when needed.
-
Health, security, and attractive conditions
As an employee in Sweden, you have access to a comprehensive benefits package. We provide a wellness allowance of up to SEK 3,700 per year, as well as reimbursement for services such as influenza vaccinations and prescription glasses for computer work. Through our collective agreement, you also receive occupational pension, insurance coverage, sick pay, and parental pay – creating stable conditions and long-term financial security.
