Kukoons Rugs, one of Northern Ireland’s largest ecommerce companies, is known for revolutionising their industry. An early adopter of lean methodology, the company is now pioneering the way with the roll out of the 4 day working week with no reduction in pay.
Over the past couple of year’s, Kukoon Rugs, like many other businesses, have identified that while hybrid / remote working is hugely in demand, it is not the ideal set up for a company that thrives on collaboration. As a result, Kukoon has implemented a new working structure as of March 6th 2023:
- Jan-Mar 4.5 Day Week / ½ day at home on Friday
- Apr – Sept 4 Day Week
- Oct – Dec 5 Day Week
Simon Ward, Director of People for Kukoon Rugs, said, “We are a people first company. We have a fantastic team in place, experts in their field, and we don’t measure success in hours spent, but value added. Our team is able to deliver when it really matters, and they don’t need to sit at a desk for 40 hours to do it. We have learnt a lot over the past few years and we know a balance between work and family is critical to people’s success, and we feel passionately about giving that to our employees.”
Kukoon Rugs is the largest independent rug seller in the U.K. and Ireland, Headquartered in Newry, Northern Ireland. As a family business started in 2007, Kukoon Rugs has been able to scale drastically over the years, with 3 warehouses and over 300,000 rugs in stock.
This new working structure has been rolled out across multiple departments, including our eCommerce team. John Woods, Kukoon Rug’s eCommerce Manager who has been with the company 8 years, said, “The new working structure is brilliant. We all love being in the office and working together, and we love spending time with our families and travelling, and this 4 day working week allows us to do both.”
Kukoon Rugs are always looking for forward thinking, mould breaking, passionate people to join their tribe. Vacancies are posted on the company website.
