In Canon Denmark a Problem of stress related illness occurred. These illnesses were the result of changes in the organization and increasing pressure to perform. As this caused many problems for business managers, human resources (HR) and increased the workload for other employees, canon Denmark started to develop a policy to reduce stress in workplace. While it was carrying out research for that policy, the government of Denmark also strengthened the anti-smoking legislation and the works council was demanding changes to a number of existing policies. The company realized that a specific stress reduction policy as not enough and started to examine not only its own, but the European and global Canon policies as well. Internet research also presented a couple of articles related to Canon Electronics, a Company based in Japan, forcing its employees to stand during their work and demanding that they walk at a specific pace. As it was not possible to find an NGO report on this topic or any other completely reliable source, this research is based on blogs and comments by alleged employees. In Hisashi Sakamaki's theory (Representative Director of Canon Electronics) forcing employees to stand not only saves money but increases productivity and enhances employee relationships. Answer these Questions: 1. What is cause for concern here? 2. What do you think is the reason of these issues? 3. What Violations of policies/laws have been applied here? 4. Suggest a title for the case study? In Canon Denmark a Problem of stress related illness occurred. These illnesses were the result of changes in the organization and increasing pressure to perform.
