Our family-friendly workplace

Just imagine a place where everyone is supported to be there for their loved ones.

That’s what we’re creating. By supporting families, parents and caregivers in the workplace, we can have a positive impact on child development.

Supporting children’s development

Here are the global policies we use to support all parents at the LEGO Group. In countries where local policies offer a more generous leave, the local policies take precedence.

For all parents
As part of our mission to inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow, we support parents and caregivers to spend more time with their children at an important stage in their early development. Our policy supports all parents across the LEGO Group.
From day one
From their first day here, all LEGO® colleagues are offered extended paid parental leave, no matter their family constellation, location, role or how they identify. Our policy covers 100% of their salary throughout the whole period. During their paid leave, parents will also accrue merit increases and bonuses and will collect vacation days.
Paid parental leave
We offer 26 weeks of paid leave for the primary caregiver and 8 weeks for the secondary caregiver on full pay. Parents decide who takes the role of the primary caregiver, and we encourage all our colleagues to take their time to build a bond with their family.
Sharing the happiness
We’re proud to be part of the From Babies with Love initiative. We celebrate new LEGO parents with a meaningful gift, including some LEGO DUPLO® bricks for when the baby reaches 18 months. 100% of the profits go to supporting and educating orphaned and abandoned children around the world. We’ll be rolling out this program globally across the LEGO Group in 2025.

Our other family-friendly benefits

Paid Caregiver Leave
We provide up to four weeks of paid leave, so colleagues can take care of their loved ones when they need them the most.
Death & Disability Insurance
All our LEGO colleagues are covered through our death and disability insurance, which provides protection and peace of mind.
Colleague Assistance Program
Open to our colleagues and their families, this service provides confidential and professional assistance for personal or work-related problems.
Health Insurance
In many countries, LEGO colleagues have access to health insurance to help pay for medical expenses, such as doctor’s visits, hospital stays and surgeries.
Pay & bonus
Every role at the LEGO Group has a defined salary range. We continually review these by looking at comparable positions across all industries in local markets. This is in addition to our globally-aligned bonus program.
Inclusive workplace
We want our workplace facilities to be as inclusive as possible. You’ll find everything from all-gender toilets, breastfeeding spaces and free menstrual products to wheelchair-accessible amenities and wellbeing rooms.

Hybrid working

For many of our roles, we also offer ‘Best of Both’, our hybrid work approach which provides the flexibility to work from home up to two days per week, and from the office for a minimum of three days per week.

While our hybrid work approach offers flexibility to many roles, we know that the hands-on magic happens on-site for certain roles.
