JYSK

We’re on Forbes list of World’s Top Companies for Woman 2024 🙋♀️ In October 2024, we have proudly been named one of the World’s Top Companies for Women by Forbes, highlighting our ongoing commitment to creating an inclusive and empowering environment for female employees globally. 🙌 Forbes’ list is made in collaboration with the statistics company Statista, and it ranks companies based on factors such as gender equality, advancement opportunities, and workplace culture. 💬 “We are incredibly honoured to be recognised by Forbes as one of the World’s Top Companies for Women. Overall, JYSK has an even split of men and women in managerial positions, and we believe that this gender balanced split is fundamental to the growth and culture of our company,” says Jan Verhoek, Executive Vice President HR at JYSK. This unveiling of us as one of the World’s Top Companies for Women comes on the back of us being honoured with other prestigious recognitions for being a great place to work. In September, The Times magazine announced us as one of the World’s Best Companies, while Forbes had us on its list of the World’s Best Employers earlier this month. 🏆 💬 “We are committed to making JYSK a place where everyone can excel in order to pursue their career ambitions. The recognition we have received in these months inspires us to continue our work and build a workplace where everyone can succeed,” adds Jan Verhoek. 📸 In this photo are five of our colleagues from Germany: Store Manager Xenia Kohlhaus, District Manager Kathleen Böttcher, Regional Store Concept Manager Charlotte Beck, Sales Assistant Kathy Schell and Retail Manager Carolin Rauh. #proudtobeJYSK #diversity #inclusive #empowering #employer #women

We open store number 100 in Hungary 🛒🎉 On Thursday, October 24th at 9:00 AM, JYSK made history in Hungary with the opening of store number 100. The opening was celebrated with speeches and festivities across the country, where we have been operating since 2005. 💬 “I am very happy to celebrate the opening of store number 100 here in Hungary, and I would like to thank our employees and the leadership team in the country for their great work and dedication in reaching this significant milestone,” said Rami Jensen, President & CEO at JYSK. Store number 100 opened in Debrecen, located in eastern Hungary. The opening is celebrated with great offers across the country and product donations to local organisations. 💙 💬 “The opening of store 100 in Hungary is a milestone for us, and we look forward to celebrating 20 years in Hungary next year. We have ongoing plans for expansion to bring JYSK even closer to every customer in Hungary,” says Sándor Szimeiszter, Country Director for JYSK Hungary, Austria, and Greece With 100 stores now spread across the country, 99.7% of customers in Hungary have a travel time of one hour or less to the nearest JYSK store, and it is expected that the distance to great offers will become even shorter in the future. 📍 #proudtobeJYSK #milestone #expansion #celebration 

Two decades of dedication: “JYSK is my second home” 💙 JYSK Ukraine marked 20 years anniversary on 3 October, a milestone that Iryna Kartun has been part of almost since day one. Today, on 22 October, she celebrates her 20-year anniversary herself. Iryna began her career in 2004 as a Sales Assistant where she played a key role in establishing JYSK’s presence in Ukraine and contributing to the opening of the first stores in the country. 🛒 💬 “I never expected to stay with JYSK for so many years, but time flies, and now I’ve been working here for half of my life. It’s incredible to think about. Initially, I planned to work at JYSK while finishing my studies, but then it became my second home. I’ve grown both personally and professionally, and that has made me a better version of myself,” says Iryna. In 2007, she became a Store Manager, and later in 2013 Sales Coordinator. In 2020, she experienced a major turning point when she was offered the role as Sales Manager for JYSK Ukraine. This new position also came with a move to JYSK Head Office in Denmark – a significant change that Iryna embraced. 🌟 💬 “It was a big change, but I was fortunate to have supportive colleagues. I loved working with my team in Ukraine, and I feel the same about my close colleagues at the head office today. They helped me settle in Denmark, not just professionally but also by assisting me with finding an apartment and organising my new life here,” says Iryna. Iryna has now lived in Aarhus, Denmark, for four years and has settled in well. She tries to visit Ukraine at least once a year to see her friends and family, and she hopes to visit more often in the future. 🙏 #proudtobeJYSK #retail #careers #anniversary #celebration

Can everyone really get a great offer at JYSK? 🤔 That’s the message behind our latest campaign, which showcases a variety of spooky scenes in a JYSK store, just as the Halloween season approaches. 🎃 💬 “This campaign is different from our usual ones, as it involved filming in a physical JYSK store with a monster costume instead of only using animations. It’s a fun and cosy-scary way to show that we have great offers for literally everyone,” says Louise Rosenbux-Lauridsen, Content Specialist at JYSK. The campaign features photos and videos highlighting products such as mattresses, duvets, pillows, furniture, curtains, bed linen, and towels. It will run from 21 October on our Facebook, Instagram, website, and newsletters in 17 different countries. 📲 💬 “It was a fun and unique day at work, where I even played a monster to make the scenes look more realistic in the photos and videos,” Louise adds. So yes, we have a great offer for everyone – even the monster under your bed or the ghost in your closet. 👹👻 And don’t be scared – we have a great offer for you too. 🌟 Check out how we brought the campaign to life behind the scenes. 👇 #proudtobeJYSK #marketing #campaign #halloween #scary

We’re opening dark stores to boost online deliveries 🛒🔦 But wait – what exactly is a dark store? 🤔 A dark store isn’t a store you can visit as a customer, but a smaller warehouse with racking and shelves only for online shopping. 🛍️ It may not sound logical, but so-called ‘dark stores’ will help us become more competitive and offer a faster and more reliable delivery to customers in selected countries. Our first dark store will open in Dublin, Ireland, this November, covering around 8,000 square metres. 💬 “When we are present in a country, and we want to shorten the delivery time, a dark store is a great option for us. This helps us to attract new customers and create a more seamless experience,” says Ole Thomsen, Executive Vice President, Logistics. We also have plans to open a dark store in Morocco, alongside the first JYSK stores, in spring 2025. This will reduce delivery times from around 16 days to 2 days. 🚛 Check out some interesting facts about our dark stores below. 👇 #proudtobeJYSK #retail #logistics #darkstores #customerexperience

In September, JYSK Spain celebrated having opened 150 stores in Spain with a big event consisting of more than a hundred guests, including customers, media, influencers, and decoration professionals. 🏆 Community projects in Romania receive awards. Two community investment projects in Romania, carried out by JYSK, received the Gold Recognition distinction in the 2024 Community Index ranking. The JYSK Forest in Roșia Montană and the Friendly Cities research, were the two projects that received the Gold Recognition awards. 🚛 JYSK Distribution Centre in Bulgaria celebrates five years of successful operation. On 12 September 2024, JYSK Distribution Centre in Bulgaria, which serves 10 countries including Bulgaria, Greece, and Türkiye, celebrated five years since the official opening. 💙 JYSK donates to local organisation at store opening in Hungary. We once again supported a good cause with a store opening in Budapest on 28 August. During store openings, a local organisation is selected to receive a 500,000 HUF JYSK voucher as a gift. This time, the winner was the 13th District Disaster Management and Civil Guard Association, which aims to increase the safety of the local communities. #proudtobeJYSK #retail #milestones

What does your sleeping position say about your personality? 😴 The music you love to listen to, the style you choose for your clothes, the way you decorate your home or the way you shake someone’s hand, they all say something about your personality. The position you choose for sleeping also says something about you. 💤 But unlike musical or clothing preferences, which are all conscious decisions, the sleep position is an unconscious decision. This is why the position you sleep in reveals your true self. 👀 Research has shown that sleep positions can be linked to certain personality traits. Which sleep position do you prefer and what does it say about your personality? Find out below. 👇 #sleep #sleeping #position #personality
