Canon Response
10y
It’s hard to respond without knowing when & where you worked as Canon EMEA covers some 45+ territories in the region. However, we’re actively embracing technology and tools that provide newer, flexible ways of working for the future for all 17,000 EMEA employees (e.g. Office 365/Cloud, remote working etc.): Indeed, some of our core solutions and services absolutely depend on it… Sorry to hear your experience wasn’t as positive as it could have been: There has been a huge investment in management communication, tools and resources to create a more open and collaborative working culture, and the results of our recent 2015 Employee Engagement Survey suggest that this has been very positively received.
