Talent Development
We take pride in being a global business leader that develops our employees. We offer the following opportunities to help take ownership of your career:
Classroom & Online Learning
Online, live and virtual instructor-led classes are offered to build skills so you can be successful in your career such as coaching, communicating, and leadership development, plus other opportunities for learning available 24/7 in our learning management system.
Onboarding
New employees are greeted on Day 1 with a partial day orientation session covering the critical pieces of starting a new job.
Transitional Management
When employees shift from being individual contributors to working in management roles, there is a small window of time for a successful transition. The first 90 days in any new management role is critical. LEADing Canon is our program for this first 90 days. There are tools, templates and guidelines for navigating your way through your first 90 days in the new role.
Leadership Institute
The Canon Leadership Institute for top executives focuses on different aspects of being an executive at Canon: You as a Leader, You Leading a Team, and You Leading a Business. At the Director and Manager levels, the program focuses more on the ins and outs of daily operations: managing people, providing feedback and coaching, and executing on corporate strategy.
Business Resource Group
Business Resource Groups (BRGs) demonstrate the company’s commitment to diversity & inclusion and provide employees with the opportunity to connect with colleagues who share similar interests and backgrounds. Learning opportunities are designed to address the custom needs of each BRG.
Many voices. One goal.
When you pioneer innovations ranging from cameras to office equipment to healthcare devices, you understand that true progress requires a harmony of different perspectives. This philosophy doesn't just apply to our technologies, but to the people who create them.
Guided by the spirit of Kyosei, we believe that when individuals from all walks of life live and work together for the common good, we build a stronger future. We are dedicated to fostering an inclusive community where employees are empowered to thrive, collaborate, and contribute their unique voices at every level of our organization.
At Canon, we do more than respect your service. We value it. We know the teamwork, leadership and real-world training that can be gained from a career in the armed forces.
That’s why we’re committed to all that have made sacrifices, including veterans, reserve personnel, and military spouses. Working side-by-side with the integrity and strong work ethic you bring helps to make us all stronger. Your military experience together with our Canon values is a great match.
SOAR is an employee-led Business Resource Group (BRG) dedicated to advancing Canon’s commitment to Kyosei—our guiding philosophy of living and working together for the common good. By partnering with fellow employee resource groups, SOAR fosters a vibrant community that reflects the interconnected world in which we do business.
Established in 2019, the SOAR steering committee brings together senior leadership from across Canon USA’s business divisions and subsidiaries. Together, we are united in a shared mission: to engage, enable, and empower rising professionals, supporting both their personal growth and professional development as we build a harmonious future together.
Parents and Caregivers Together (PACT)
PACT is an employee-led Business Resource Group (BRG) at Canon dedicated to bringing our philosophy of Kyosei into the daily lives of our workforce. True to the ideal of living and working together in harmony, PACT’s mission is to provide working parents and caregivers with the resources, events, and community needed to beautifully balance career and family life. By connecting individuals across all stages of caregiving and parenthood, we create a strong, compassionate network where members can support one another through the unique challenges and joy of caretaking.
