850 employees
Inter IKEA Group, the IKEA franchisor, cut about 850 jobs (of ~27,700 staff, ~300 in Sweden) — mostly support functions — to gain 'simplicity and speed' as weaker consumer confidence, rising costs, US tariffs, and Iran-conflict fuel prices squeezed home-furnishings demand. It followed ~800 cuts at retail operator Ingka Group in March.
