Comment from a Canon UK employee.
Working for a world-leading company
There is a certain 'excitement' that comes with working for a world-leading, multinational company dedicated to achieving the highest quality standards in many highly competitive markets. It is one of the things that attracts the best people to work for us. At the same time, there is more to life than work alone. A healthy balance
Work-life balance is becoming increasingly important in today’s competitive and demanding marketplace. Canon is committed to increasing the attraction and retention of employees with valuable skills, as well as improving responsiveness and flexibility of services to its customers. Flexible working practices
Flexibility is often achieved by making small and simple changes to working patterns or hours. Canon's culture actively encourages flexible and fair working practices and this enables Canon UK employees to achieve a healthy work-life balance whilst continuing to maintain high levels of productivity and enhancing our customer service. We do this in several ways. Many of our positions offer flexible working arrangements to enable people to meet home and family commitments or free up time to explore their interests and talents. These include opportunities for job sharing, working from home, part time or flexible hours and taking time out to study. A two-way process
Other ways are less obvious. Our café bar culture and staff purchase scheme, for example, ensure our employees feel comfortable and valued. When it comes to work-life balance, we firmly believe that giving that little bit extra should work both ways.
