Careers Stories

We asked colleagues in our LEGO® Japan office to talk about their careers, their favourite work memories and the things that make them proud to work here.

“My role is to bring you fun and creative moments!” says **Eiko Konishi**, who is **Marketing Director** at **LEGO Japan**.

“I’ve been in the LEGO Group for 10 years and I get inspired by my colleagues and find something new in my work every day. I have the most fun at work when I’m chatting with colleagues and discussing new ideas. I never get bored!

“My most interesting project was bringing LEGO Masters to Japan. The program launch was a proud moment, but collaborating and delivering it as a team was the most valuable thing. 

“I’ve worked in both the sales and marketing teams. I’ve never seen a company that cares so much about wellbeing and work/life balance. All the People Leaders I’ve worked with here have supported me and helped me challenge myself and widen my experience of the job.

“My purpose is to reach out to as many children as possible and give them a chance to experience learning through play. It’s a wonderful job. Play can create space in your heart and give you new perspectives and ideas in your daily life. It’s so important for everyone to remember the value of play, especially when you have a busy life.”


**Millie Asami Miyashita** describes her job as **Digital Marketing Manager** as “finding ways to make digital life even more fun and inspiring!"

LEGO Japan Millie

“Every single project I work on is exciting - from composing a social media post to being a lead on a branding campaign. Everything we do is connected to our mission to inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow. I love it when I see a social media post inspired by our campaign message. It makes me happy that someone had a memorable play experience. I love seeing the great big smiles of consumers when they’re playing with LEGO bricks! 

"I have worked here for three years and one of the great things is the support for development. Every employee gets to decide their own career vision. We have lots of opportunities to discuss and learn about the development process, including eLearning courses, on-site workshops and dialogue sessions with the leadership team.

“The most important thing I learned is that the things we value at work – curiosity, bravery and focus – are encouraged and applied to every single task. When I first started, I felt a little awkward about receiving feedback, but I changed how I thought about it and realized that getting advice from different points of view only helps projects get even better.

“My role is communicating directly with our audience, so the spirit of play is super important. I’m always looking for ways to find playful communication rather than just giving people information. The digital platform is always evolving, so I need to stay engaged and keep trying new things. It’s fun and it’s helped me become a person who isn’t afraid of change.”

**Yuka Matsuzawa** knows that working for the LEGO Group is the dream for a lot of people. “My daughter's friend wants to be a LEGO employee because she loves LEGO sets."

LEGO Japan Yuka

“I’m the **Order Manager** and I’ve worked for the LEGO Group for five years.” she explains. “I really like the culture here; cooperation is essential. The last company I worked at was very conservative and it wasn't an environment where I could take on challenges. I looked at the LEGO Group and I really liked the way that people are given a chance and listened to if they speak up, so I applied here. In my last company the dress code was very strict, but in my team, we have fun dress codes for our team meetings like wearing animal prints or clothes that don’t fit you!

"What’s Yuka’s favourite work memory? “I really enjoyed my work as part of the project to improve the percentage of products in Amazon that were Retail Out of Stock (ROOS), which was affecting our customer pulse scores. My role was to investigate, analyse and come up with solutions. As a result, the number of products out of stock went down and customer satisfaction went up. 

“My job always gives me and my team new challenges. I believe in 'learning through play’. LEGO bricks aren’t just bricks, they are an unlimited play tool. When employees experience the fun of the product then we can let the rest of the world know how exciting it is. The Santa’s Helper initiative is wonderful. When I see big smiles from children and adults and get a big thank you from them, I really feel that's why I'm here.”

“The LEGO Group prioritizes children’s growth and that deeply resonates with me,” says **Hiroki Furukawa**. “I wanted to contribute to children’s futures.”

Hiroki  (2560 × 1920 px).jpg

“I’m a **Senior Key Account Manager** and role is to make sure that as many children as possible can find LEGO sets in stores! We work with retailers to create exciting sales spaces. We collaborate with partners to plan for the future to make sure that lots of retail companies can grow alongside the LEGO Group. We spread smiles across Japan, which has such a positive impact on my life! 

“I have realized the importance of collaboration beyond my direct responsibilities. I’ve been working on creating safe spaces for teamwork and growth. A playful workplace means prioritizing a creative approach and valuing failure. This creates an environment where employees can work joyfully and can infuse innovation and creativity into our daily work. 

“I have over 18 years of experience in the toy industry. Our team members come from diverse backgrounds — some have been with the LEGO Group for over 25 years, while others joined from entirely different industries. It’s amazing how these varied experiences come together in our current team, creating fascinating chemistry. 

“One of the most rewarding experiences for me was contributing to the growth of a team member. Witnessing their joy and tears when they were promoted was truly heartwarming. Working alongside them also helped me grow personally.”

What’s the most important piece of advice that you’d give to someone about life at the LEGO Group? 🤔
We asked colleagues in the LEGO® Japan office to talk about their careers, their favorite work memories and the things that make them proud to work here.

Our LEGO® Japan colleagues open up about life at the LEGO Group

LEGO® Japan Team Members open up…

It’s not just what you do at the LEGO Group that makes working here a fulfilling experience. 
It’s who you work with, how and why, that makes a difference too. But don’t take our word for it. Some things are best said by the people who experience this reality, day-in, day out. Meet **Johnny** and **Frank** at our growing operations in China.

"Going above and beyond to delight customers. That's part of the exciting story we share."

Johnny and Frank both work in very different roles. But when we ask them to describe what they like most about working here, a compelling story begins to take shape. 

Let’s start with Johnny who works at LEGO® China Digital:

6.jpg

"I think the biggest difference in working at the LEGO Group is the unspoken understanding between colleagues. We all think about ways to make the best of things. We don’t say that the project only has this time, so maybe we can only do it here. We don’t say that I have finished this link, and it will not be my business until the next link."

There’s a lot to take away from Johnny’s observations. Firstly, they speak to our strong belief in the power of collaboration. This is rooted deep in our culture as a business. 
We are not the usual kind of company. As passionate advocates for the transformative power of play, it makes sense that we practice the principles that make play a positive and useful tool for exploring the possibilities. 

Play at its best involves everyone engaging and supporting one another. It’s the exact same thing with how we approach our work.

It’s this flexible approach and willingness to experiment that allows us to be more creative and find unexpected solutions. It’s also makes working here more varied and fun. And when we have fun, we enjoy ourselves more and have a very real desire to create something that surprises, delights and engages our customers.

This is something Frank strongly identifies within his role in the Packing Maintenance department:


2.jpg

"We all want to do everything to a high standard and bring the best experience to our users. I think the great thing about the LEGO Group is not only that it creates a lot of fun toys, but we also deliver great value."

This shows us that how we approach things is every bit as important as what we create. It’s something that translates into the end product because it’s been there at key stages of its creation and there is a shared ownership - a sense of duty almost - of customer loyalty. 

They expect something that takes them that little bit further, so we have to map out the best, most satisfying way to get there.

There has to be a high-degree of collaboration to drive what we do.
Our commitment to pushing boundaries and exceeding expectations is all there in our core values.

It's not just about creating fun toys; it's about fostering a culture where employees are empowered to go above and beyond, both in their work and in their communities. This is exemplified by Frank’s experience of volunteering at the Jiaxing Science and Technology Museum:

8.jpg

"I volunteered at the Jiaxing Science and Technology Museum. I explained to the children who came to see us that the earth is sick now because some people litter and cut down trees. 

I didn’t expect this to inspire my my son. He remembers what I said, so when he saw others littering outside, he would try to dissuade them from doing so. I felt very proud of him for this. It also made me realize that what we do can change behaviours and influence better outcomes.”

This collaborative spirit and refusal to settle for second best can make a real difference in the wider world. This can only happen through talented people coming together, each of them determined to inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow.

It’s not just what you do at the LEGO Group that makes working here a fulfilling experience. 
It’s who you work with, how and why, that makes a difference too.

**Jeremy Lim** is a **Demand Planning Manager** in our **New Zealand** office. He believes there’s much more to his role than meets the eye - and that’s true for everyone that works here:

“Just Imagine being part of something bigger in your life, where you get to inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow - one brick at a time. That’s what working here has felt like to me - and that feels pretty good.


Jeremy_hero_block.jpg

“One of the things I love about the LEGO Group is you don’t have to be perfect. Nobody expects you to know everything about every single aspect of what your role is about. The fun is in having to find out and explore. That’s the essential nature of play, right? Working with people you just know are always going to be there to support you matters too. 

“We’re a very sharing organisation. We’re like a village. We have input into how the business does things and how we can do better at what we do. Having all these perspectives is a win-win. We learn and grow as individuals, which makes us stronger as a business. 

“Before working here, my dream career would have been a role as a Lecturer or a Student Counsellor. This aligns with my passion for education and helping others. But I get to do that here and it gives me huge satisfaction. I coach, train, and support new team members all the time and having a positive impact on their growth and development is super-important to me. 

“We’re a business that’s driven by innovation, so you have to keep learning and listening. There's always someone out there who has faced a similar problem and discovered a solution. It's then a matter of adapting that solution, understanding its impact, and identifying any barriers that may hinder our progress - which I guess really feeds into play.


Jeremy_hero_block_3.jpg

“For me, play is about experimentation and it’s through experimentation that I’ve learnt the most and developed my own independent thoughts. That’s why it’s so important for the people who come to work for us to be curious problem solvers. People who like to find out. People who want to do so to achieve something important. 

“Another thing to emphasise is the degree to which we all feel trusted. This is empowering, In my case it means having the freedom to make the decisions that I believe are best for the market or my role. We have a strong bond as a team; we’re ready to go the extra mile for one another. That makes me proud to work here.

“All of this has now been formally recognised. Both the LEGO Group and the Australia and New Zealand offices have been officially accredited Great Places To Work. It’s true, they are. That’s why I’m still here almost a decade after joining. But having this formally recognised by the accreditation, that means a lot. To all of us. It’s validating. It makes me feel as though we’ve built something important, together.”

Just imagine your job was a playground of possibilities. Then imagine that your best teachers were children and the best way to get inspired was to have fun and play. **Sonal Jhuj** lives this reality (almost) every day. 

“Doing things that haven’t been done before comes very easily to my colleagues here. Many organisations struggle with innovation, but here I see that for my colleagues it’s the most natural thing. There’s creativity in action every day. That we’re here to do new things, whatever shape they may eventually take – a product, an experience or a marketing campaign.


sonal_3.jpg

“In my long career before joining the LEGO Group, I’d successfully shaped big brands and delivered business results, but the portfolio of tools at my disposal were limited. Having worked here now for over two years, I’ve had the chance to closely observe the many many tools it takes to build a successful brand with this kind of longevity. It’s definitely unblinkered my view of what creativity can make possible in the world. 

“I’m part of the **Global Brand Development** team working on long-range strategic narratives and marketing plans for the LEGO® brand alongside key transformation projects. 

Sonal_2.jpg

“Leading the brand communication strategy for our 90th-anniversary campaign was incredible. Particularly because of the impact it had and also because it stretched in many wonderful ways across every part of the brand experience. It was also such a huge privilege to be able to celebrate a brand of such stature while charting a path for its future. It’s not every day that you get to do this kind of work.

“Becoming a mother 9 years ago shaped how I saw the world – it showed me the very same every day things but from my incredibly creative, curious and fearless son’s lens. He asks the best questions and leaves me with the most impressive answers. At the LEGO Group everything we do is with children in mind. Learning from children and how they see the world teaches me the most. Here at the LEGO Group we always say ‘Children are our role models’ and it shows up in our work every single day. Getting to hear their thoughts on what we do and on the world around them is a constant source of inspiration. I absolutely love every chance I get to ask children questions and see how they play. It’s near impossible to inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow without playing and having fun ourselves.

Sonal_1.jpg

“I got to attend my very first ‘Play Day’ last year. I’d never experienced anything quite like it! Imagine playing all day with your colleagues, watching everyone hop, skip and build shoulder-to-shoulder. It served as a reminder of the joy and value of play – and as grown ups it’s a reminder we need often. Play Day is one of the most meaningful traditions in the company that stems from our values, that we hold so dearly. In our team meetings we always make room for play. Even our meeting rooms have play prompts, because how can we possibly get to incredible things unless we start with play. 

“One of the most rewarding things about my job is that I get to create new things with teams from very diverse areas of expertise. A typical day can include working with the LEGO Foundation, LEGO House,  LEGOLAND, LEGO Education, design teams, content teams and more. I can’t think of a job where you get to build alongside such incredible talent and share in the responsibility of building such an iconic brand. Everyone here wants to do their life’s best work. When you’re working to build on a brand that’s so strong and successful, you have to strive even harder to make a difference and leave a legacy through your work. 

“We’re doing our best to inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow. That’s a really valuable mission. One that made it very easy for me to make the decision to move to a new continent with my family in tow. And it’s a decision I’d make again in a heartbeat."

Just imagine putting your finance know-how at the heart of a massive Digital Transformation. Then imagine you were doing so for a brand that empowers curious minds to explore their potential. For **Pablo Banda**, this is his day job. So every day he knows he’s making an investment that not only works for him, but will endure way into the future.

“The short version of my job title is **Digital Finance Senior Manager**. In longhand, I’m a **Finance Partner** in **Digital Technology for Data Office and Cyber Security** areas, as well as driver for Value Framework - which basically means I lead the overall governance to ensure we drive value- in every sense of the word - from our digital investments. Sounds complex, right? Well, it can be. But doing what I do with the freedom and flexibility that enables me to do it well - and for a valuable outcome- that’s so rewarding.

Pablo_3.jpg

“It may surprise some people but what I do is fun. This is what happens when there are no rules. that’s how it is with my colleagues. We share the same values but we have the freedom to work towards solving problems in any fun creative way we could possibly imagine. We meet; we brainstorm on how to solve pain points; no rules, no bad ideas, just sharing. 

“The empowerment I have to suggest and make changes on a global agenda is very real. The curious thing is that while I’ve spoken of these grand schemes and huge ambitions, I know that it feels more like a home than a corporate giant. It just feels right, somewhere I belong. 

Pablo_1.jpg

“I have been with the LEGO Group for over 4 years now. After three years in Mexico, I relocated with my wife to Denmark for this role. The business went above and beyond for us to do this. Providing cultural guidance for my partner who, at the time, had no job so it was harder to adapt, this shows how deeply they care. Now, we’re able to collaborate for the same company and experience the same values, which is simply amazing. 

I get to work on a global scale where I drive change and bring hearts and minds together. Working at this strategic level means looking at the big picture and how Digital Technology enables better business outcomes. I’m part of a team that’s making a difference working agile, constantly looking at how to deliver value drops, focus on where value can be harvested. We design and execute processes and governance to ensure agile resource allocation based on value for the business. Alongside the culture, empowerment and awesome colleagues this journey is nothing but exciting.

Pablo_2.jpg

“What I do demands that I use my imagination and think of the bigger picture, to truly work cross-functional. I like this. Being able to see what the future might look like and to help make it a reality. The processes I design to maximise the value of our digital investments have to be simple. This enables me to bring users on the journey. I have to imagine how they experience it. This tells me if they will embrace it. If they don’t, it won’t succeed. 

“I get to collaborate with so many different mindsets and experience so many different cultures. This is an invaluable playground too. You just have to engage with the right spirit. Curiosity and an open mind. 
Collaboration with different profiles, mindsets and cultures around the world, D&I itself is such a powerful playground for development. 


“Being immersed in something as radical as the Digital Transformation is challenging. Extremely at times. But this makes what we achieve in the end even more satisfying. It’s a chance to make a mark. To leave a legacy. When you know that legacy is securing our purpose, it takes on a whole new meaning.”

Juliana has swapped her aerospace background to work with us as a Senior Additive Manufacturing Engineer. Just imagine the complexities involved in our production processes to demand that level of expertise. Then imagine what use we can find for your science or engineering background. Maybe you’ll find some inspiration in her story.

Juliana.front.jpg

“Some people may see us simply as a toy company. This is true to an extent. But let’s not forget we’re dealing with arguably the most demanding customers on the planet. Children are our role models and inspiration and we try to bring our own inner child to what we do. Not letting that spark die, I believe, is one of the best things about working here. Particularly if it engages young minds as a result. As a business we’re about doing this, giving them the tools to learn and explore. 

image00017.jpeg

“This means we have to invest in innovation, that we strive to be the technical leader in the market and we take our responsibilities to the planet seriously. We have fun, yes, and we love what we do. It’s amazing to work with people who become your friends and breathe the happiness of our products. That’s energizing. But we all do what we do to the highest possible standards. That’s the core of our brand. It’s challenging. I’m an aerospace engineer working for a ‘toy manufacturer’ yet it still feels like rocket science. This says it all about how we do things here.

“My role is at the very forefront of innovation. It’s focused on developing new technologies that will define what the factory of the future will look like. This means bringing an open mind and applying some thought and imagination. We have to consider things in different lights, from different angles. Creativity is one of the bases of engineering. It’s contagious here. We challenge each other. We cultivate an attitude of going further each time. Our mantra is ‘only the best is good enough’. This applies equally to products, processes, everything really. It has to.

image00062.jpeg

“I get to do all kinds of surprising stuff too. One of my proudest achievements is being part of the team that produced one of the first 3D-printed LEGO® Bricks. It’s not just about ‘firsts’ but there is always another way to be better. Whether it’s what you work on or how you yourself grow personally and professionally. We’re human beings with flaws. We should thrive on finding ways to improve.  The business sees this too. It recognises we are people with lives and families. Our managers respect this. Our culture is built around it. 

“Working here means having access to some great benefits too. The Best of Both policy allows for hybrid working so I can be at home doing my job twice a week. I miss my family each time I go to work so being able to spend some time with them makes a huge difference. 

“If we’re brave enough to speak up, we also know we’ll be listened to. If we dare to go for new challenges, we won’t be judged if we fail, it’s just another opportunity to learn. Be curious for each new day and focus on what really matters, that’s the important thing. How else can you innovate?”

There’s a lot going on behind the bricks of our Munich Sales, Marketing, and Operations team here at the LEGO Group. Our team are bridging the gap between LEGO® bricks and the consumer, which means they’re always engaging with stakeholders, buyers, and of course…consumers! 
Recently we invited a mix of Account Managers, Sales Managers, Brand Managers and Marketing Managers across Germany to say Hej to our awesome Munich colleagues to get an understanding of  their inspiring personal career journeys, and to get a flavour of what it’s really like to be a part of the LEGO Group in Munich. 
The team discussed how their roles determines where budget gets spent across both marketing channel placements and the product offering itself. There’s lots of planning involved – and lots of playing too - but that’s because there are so many great LEGO themes. From LEGO® DUPLO® to the LEGO® Architecture, the team’s goal is to raise awareness for all our amazing LEGO sets!

Our host Kwame Asare, Talent Attraction and Campaign Manager, caught up with our talented team discuss their roles and experience. Here are some of our favorite moments from the discussion:


Karen.jpg

**Karen Pascha-Gladyshev,  Vice President & General Manager Europe Central (EUC -  Germany, Austria, Switzerland)** 👋

_‘What’s so great at the LEGO Group is that I have two kids and a husband, and all four of us love LEGO® as a brand – even before I joined! I love building, we all do, so I really like the purpose of what we’re doing: inspiring the builders of tomorrow…I’m definitely the most popular parent!’_

Thomas.jpg

**Thomas Harth-Brinkmann, Senior Customer Operations Manager** 👋

_‘If you join the toy industry, you’ll most likely stay forever and never leave it. At the LEGO Group, there is so much excitement driven by products, driven by the brand, the entertainment, and the novelty. It is so lovely to see happy children!’_

Cora.jpg

**Cora Graf, Brand Manager** 👋

_The Munich office offers a lot of opportunities, so you don’t need to necessarily stay within your role, but you also get the offering to explore different roles and work on your career exploring different fields. We all get together for our Play Day, where the whole company shuts down for one day and everyone enjoys playing with each other. It’s really hard to believe it if you don’t work here – you really have to experience it. We have to excite our consumers, so it’s fun to see things from their side every once in a while’_

Christof.jpg

**Christof Guggenberger, Key Account Manager** 👋
_
‘Here people are not just a number – colleagues care about you, leaders care about you. Everyone has a development plan to see which projects you can be part of. Learning and playing is not just a necessity here, it’s encouraged. I cannot think of any other company where you’ll see 50-year-old buyers turn into children. If they see our new portfolio, our new functions, they’re trying them out and you can really see the glint in their eyes! The dedication and the energy that people bring to the brand, it gives you so much energy back.’ _


Neslihan.jpg

**Neslihan Manikofski, Head of Promotions - Global Retail Marketing** 👋


_‘One of the most beautiful things about working for the LEGO Group, alongside the brand, is actually the people. The people are just truly really nice! They’re helpful, they’re friendly - there is equity, everyone is the same, there is a flat hierarchy. This makes working for the LEGO Group such a fun place because you love the brand…and then you have these nice people, which makes it so joyful!’_


Our colleagues loved taking those who joined the event on a journey through their personal careers and what it’s really like to be a part of the LEGO Group team in Munich. We saw an amazing turnout with a lot of inspiring minds sharing their thoughts too:

“Thank you so much for holding this panel discussion. It’s great to see that the LEGO Group not only cares for its customers, but it’s employees too!”

“It was great to hear more about the people behind the bricks, meet the team, and hear about their journey at the LEGO Group so far. Looks like a very diverse team of industry experts!”

A curious mind is a hungry mind. Just imagine indulging yours in a business that thrives on sharing knowledge and challenging one another to create the best outcomes. This is just part of the reason Strategy Director, Travis Peoples, finds his wide-ranging role supporting the Chief People Officer and Sustainability so fulfilling.	


36B670B7-E657-4051-936A-29F93C3FFAC4.jpeg

“Sustainability is central to the future of the planet and the LEGO Group. Given that, ultimately, so many of our products are designed to engage children, it’s vital that we embrace our collective responsibility to make sure the planet is well looked after. I like to think that setting this example will play a small part at least to inspire children, including my own, to do so too.

“Orchestrating the sustainability strategy and program is immensely rewarding for me. Not least because it gives me such broad exposure to the business and real connectivity to its future direction. This is one of the most important and transformational agendas that the enterprise is pursuing right now.  It presents us with a massive array of challenges wherein there are also untold opportunities.

1C2FC31A-CBF1-4739-BB11-53FFF5FFFAED.jpeg

“Like many companies, we’re in uncharted new waters when it comes to sustainability. There is so much to consider.  New materials, new business models, new ways to reduce our environmental footprint, new ways to increase how many children we reach. To deliver impact across these varied agendas takes imagination and comfort with uncertainty. We’re having to suspend a “business as usual” mindset.



“It’s why delivering the PLAN25 Sustainability strategy was such a huge achievement for us. It was co-owned by Corporate Affairs, Operations, Product, Marketing & Design, Finance and others – and I was fortunate enough to play a central role in that effort. With such a wide-ranging program, engaging with a broad group of colleagues to debate directions and jointly put forward recommendations is paramount. As a learning opportunity it was off the charts. It also speaks volumes about what we can achieve through effective, open-minded collaboration and vulnerability.		

“Another key focus for me is bringing strategic sparring to the People Operations & Development and Corporate Affairs leadership teams. This enables us to elevate and connect the organisation’s key priorities. For me, this has been a golden opportunity to gather subject matter expertise as I get to engage with world-class experts in these areas. The same goes for being exposed to how the leadership team stewards the whole ship. It is fascinating and inspiring to witness.


585AF747-6C3B-4BAE-AA76-8484398A1579.jpeg

“Everyone here is just so ready to share. If I’m curious about a topic or part of the business to which I have limited exposure, this is always welcomed and answered with at least an introduction to that area. More often than not, it means a deep dive.  

“The Strategy Partner team itself is a tight knit group. We’re very committed to high performance and to each other. In many ways, we are the connective tissue between Executive Leadership Team areas … and often well positioned to influence key decisions. It is a wonderful responsibility that we do not take lightly, individually and collectively.


“Like so many of my colleagues, inspiration is close to home. I see the joy of building and pride of creation everyday at home, as my five-year-old son engages with LEGO® bricks. So I’m inspired by the reality that I play a small part in helping influence young builders, but also that they help to influence me.

In June 2022 we were excited (and proud!) to learn that our team in the Czech Republic is again at the forefront of the Randstad Most Attractive Employers Award in the Czech Republic. In the category of manufacturing, we returned to first place, and in addition ranked third  Most Attractive Employer overall. 
For more than 20 years, we have been one of the largest employers in the Central Bohemia, and our people has always been a top priority and central to our success in the region.

"I am very pleased that the perception of our company as a good employer is reflected both in our annual internal surveys and in the results of this award. We understand our colleagues are the most important asset we have. Together with my factory leadership team, we take our commitment to our colleagues very seriously and do our utmost to ensure that our factory is a safe space for each of our colleagues and where everyone takes pride in our mission and what they do.”

Jesper Hassellund Mikkelsen, Senior Vice President, LEGO Production, Czech Republic

The satisfaction of the Kladno colleagues is supported by the long-term stability of the company, a number of benefits, but also an open environment where people feel valued. 
We place great emphasis on the mental well-being of our employees. In addition to benefits such as a fitness centre and massages on the factory premises, it offers, for example, support in resolving debt problems, special or extended parental leave for caring for a loved one.  

We have a culture of Play and every year we all look forward to a special day where colleagues across the world stop working and join Play Day, a day filled with fun, excitement and LEGO® bricks! This year was special not just because we received this award, but we are also celebrating our 90th anniversary or 90 years of play!

LEGO® culture in Kladno

The production plant in Kladno is one of the world's five LEGO factories in operation and soon to be more. It plays a vital role in our global supply chain, as well as in the local economy.

There are very high safety standards, which are based on our experience with the operation of our factories around the world. 

Our story in the Kladno factory began in 2000, with 87 employees working there. The factory continued to grow and became an important employer in the region with approximately 3,500 full-time employees and 1,000 seasonal employees.

Kladno Campus colleagues

Since 2012, the factory in Kladno has become a centre of innovation for the LEGO Group with the Research & Development (R&D) team also being placed there. This team are the pioneers in developing new production technologies, preparing, and implementing pilot sustainable packaging solutions. 

In 2016, our Shared Service function, Business Service Operations team was set up in Kladno and is directly part of the factory site team. 

The campus also includes a team producing amazing large 3D models and, of course, teams that ensure the decoration of elements or minifigures (processing) and their packaging in bags (pre-pack) and then the final packaging in boxes.

Leading Innovation

The Randstad Award for the most attractive employers is based on the results of the world's largest survey of employee preferences, Randstad Employer Brand Research, which has been running globally more than 20 years. 

The survey examines the attractiveness of the largest employers for potential employees and what is important for employees when choosing an employer. 

In the Czech Republic, the Analytics survey was conducted for the 5th time on a sample of almost 5,000 respondents from general public who assessed the attractiveness of the 150 largest private sector employers.

Just Imagine with Lauren 

Just imagine what you did every day could end up changing the world forever. This is how Lauren von Stackelberg (she/her) sees her role as our Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer. Change does not happen quickly or easily when the task is so big. But Lauren is under no illusions about this and she doesn’t do it alone. Collaborating, listening and learning with a curious, open mind are as much part of her journey as they are of everyone who works here.
