Life At Work
We strive to have a positive impact on people and make every day smoother and easier.
Life At Work
Our workspaces are flexible, modern and functional. We have offices around the globe, and most offer in-house gyms, restaurants, coffee shops and outside spaces so you can get those creative juices flowing in a way that works for you.

It’s happening now. Cars that see better than human vision.
Living close to the ocean and forest, I’m always enjoying nature. So it’s important to me – and I’m really proud of it – that our company is aiming to be fully electric.

Take your time
You might have already heard about our industry-leading global parental leave policy. It’s just one way we try to offer you the best possible work-life balance. Our Sweden-based employees with standard contracts enjoy 30 days paid vacation each year, plus a vacation supplement – an extra payment for when you use your vacation days. You also get around 10 observed paid office-day holidays per calendar year, on Sweden’s so-called ‘red days’. And leave of absence options are available for specific circumstances such as higher education.
A Wellness Benefit for a healthy life
In Sweden, every calendar yest, Volvo Cars will gift you a net amount of SEK 3,500 for you to spend on something that has a positive impact on your health like a gym membership, spa treatment or other healthy activity.
Sick Pay
In Sweden, if you become ill your employer must provide you with sick pay for the first 14 days of your absence at 80 per cent of your normal pay. If you’re sick for 14 to 90 days, then you receive compensation from the Swedish agency ‘Försäkringskassan’. You’re also entitled to compensation if you need to take days off to care for your sick child.
