La-Z-Boy Culture

At La-Z-Boy, we believe the saying that ‘culture eats strategy for breakfast’. If we don’t have a strong, collaborative and caring culture, it doesn’t matter what business strategies we employ. We look for individuals who are hungry, humble, and love working with people! After all, our goal is to provide a fantastic retail experience for our clients by finding them products that suit their lifestyle and home perfectly. Our culture is built on:

Personal Growth & Skill Development

Whether you want to learn a new skill or learn a best practice for something you’ve been doing for years, La-Z-Boy prioritizes growth in all employees. Our annual training program includes short 30-minute training sessions to online programs to full-day retreats. Topics such as Growth Mindset, Personality Theory, and Storytelling for Sales are just a few of the areas we feel passionate about.

Team Member Recognition

As we mentioned earlier, we’d be nothing without our employees! From summer BBQs to Holiday parties to monthly team dinners, we love a good celebration. This allows our teams to acknowledge the hard work and positive attitude they bring to our clients each day. We also like to celebrate success with an annual awards ceremony where all winners are nominated by their peers!

Community Involvement

As a socially responsible member of the Ottawa & Kingston communities, we take pride in supporting initiatives and individuals at both a store and corporate level. From sponsorships to free donations, we focus our giving on health (CHEO), youth (Kiwanis), and housing (Hospice Care). One of our favourite ways to help is to gather a group of employees and head to the Ronald McDonald House where we prepare a wonderful meal for the families staying in the home.
