#6OP's link should really include the full title:
Ikea’s boss solved the Swedish retailer’s global ‘unhappy worker’ crisis by raising salaries, introducing flexible working and subsidizing childcare
Cutting it off there just makes it seem like ikea thinks "more money = happy workers" when in reality it is more nuanced than that.

Subsidizing childcare is also "more money", but only for some workers. If the others don't notice or don't care that they're getting paid less for the same work that's great for the company.
I am in favor of flexible work arrangements, and I have no idea if those have costs to the company, or how much more you'd need to pay the workers to accept the less flexible arrangements.

What is a primordial forest, and why is its wood so easy to break when in the form of a cabinet?

For the people that want the childcare, it’s better than more money, because it’s tax free

A lot of high end ikea stuff is REALLY good, it's not all honeycomb crap.
Honestly it's ikea or luxury stuff, anything else does not make sense.
You can't beat ikea quality and quality at any price point.
