Comment from a Canon UK employee.
There is a certain 'excitement' that comes with working for a world-leading, multinational company dedicated to the highest quality standards in many highly competitive markets. It is one of the things that attract the best people to work for
us. At the same time, there is more to life than work alone. Work-life balance is becoming increasingly important in today’s competitive and demanding market place. Canon is committed to improve the attraction and retention of employees with valuable skills, as well as improving responsiveness and
flexibility of services to customers. 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. This enables Canon UK employees to achieve a healthy work-life balance
whilst continuing to maintain high levels of productivity and enhance 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. Other ways are less obvious. Our café bar culture, smart-casual dress policy and staff purchase scheme, for example, ensure our staff feel comfortable and valued. When it comes to work life balance we firmly believe that giving that little bit
extra should work both ways.
