In today’s dynamic business environment, employee development has become a key factor in a company’s success. That’s why at Ikonka Wholesale, we’ve introduced a unique initiative: our company library. The idea turned out to be a bullseye, and the interest it sparked exceeded our expectations.
How did it start?
The initiative came about quite naturally—many of us regularly read books on sales, motivation, IT, marketing, and professional development. Conversations over coffee in the kitchen often revolved around interesting reads that could benefit others. We started sharing books privately, and eventually, the idea of creating a dedicated company library emerged. Thanks to the employees’ engagement and the company’s support, we quickly managed to build a substantial collection.
What’s in our library?
The library now covers a wide range of topics, allowing every employee to find something of interest. Our collection includes books on sales and negotiation to improve communication skills, as well as motivational reads to help tackle daily challenges. The IT department has access to books on new technologies, programming, and industry trends, while the marketing team can explore resources on data analysis, marketing strategy, and content creation.
Our catalog is constantly expanding, and employees can suggest new titles. Each month, we have a budget for purchasing the most sought-after books.
The popularity of the initiative
The idea has been a massive success—right from the start, the books have been in high demand. There’s often a waiting list for the most popular titles, showing how well the initiative aligns with our team’s needs. Employees share their recommendations, and some books are so popular they’re constantly circulating around the office.
Our company library is more than just a shelf of books. It’s an initiative that motivates learning and provides real support for professional development. We’re thrilled to create a space that engages and inspires our team.
