CANON OCEANIA WORKPLACE and are automating many more manual processes through our own Uniflow business platform design and Managed Document Services .
The Canon framework reflects the reality of Work 3.0 , recognising that the way we work , the environment we work in , and the technologies we use , are all constantly evolving .
Can you briefly explain the three working styles : mobile , balanced and focused ?
The entire office space was constructed with the three working styles in mind ; mobile , balanced and focused . Desk formation , meeting rooms and common areas were tailored to support Canon ’ s new hybrid working environment philosophy . Mobile workers are chiefly the collaborators , with only 20 per cent of time spent in individual concentration and brief moments in contemplation , whereas a balanced employee spends equal amounts of time at their work stations individually collaborating with colleagues . On the other hand , a focused working style involves long periods of time in individual concentration , with a smaller time dedicated to collaboration and contemplation .
Can you talk about the energy savings and decreased environmental impact Canon Oceania now has ?
Sustainability played a key role in our move to the new headquarters in Sydney ’ s Macquarie Park . When we conducted initial meetings with our staff to find out what they wanted from the new building , “ living green ” was high on the agenda . We have achieved a Five Star rating from the Green Building Council of Australia . The Living Green programme was instrumental in this achievement , taking into account many different physical factors of the working environment , including air quality , occupant comfort and productivity , as well as using recycled goods as part of the new build , such as our recycled cartridge wall . There has also been a 45 percent reduction in storage space in the new building , primarily due to us implementing our own technology solutions , and the new building is approximately 70 percent more energy efficient due to building structure and layout .
