WORK/LIFE BALANCE

We know that employees look for employers that are compassionate and understanding of their personal quest for work-life balance.

Not only do we firmly believe that this is necessary for
health-related reasons, further, studies show that a
balanced employee means a more productive employee.

Needless to say, helping staff maintain a healthy
work-life balance is a priority. Sony has a number
of family-friendly policies and programs in place
to help achieve this. Our vacation policy plus
floater days, compassionate sick leave policy,
paid leaves of absences, flexible work
arrangements, as well as our Employee Assistance
Program (covering a wide spectrum of issues), are all
reflective of our commitment to achieving employee
work-life balance.

We also have a program called Applause which is designed to encourage an engaged workforce by making recognition part of Sony’s culture. It provides a formal, yet flexible vehicle to allow outstanding effort to be recognized and continue to reinforce Sony’s strategic pillars and company values.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

Through personal financial contributions and dedicating their time to volunteer activities, employees are making a difference in the communities where they work and live.

Many employees take advantage of volunteer opportunities available through our relationship with Make a Wish Foundation Canada. As well, the Sony Social Committee puts on numerous charitable events throughout the year for employees, such as the United Way Games and the Annual Golf Tournament, which employees look forward to and wholeheartedly support.

At a corporate level, the Sony Canada Charitable Foundation (SCCF) believes deeply in the power of philanthropy and the power to touch the lives of Canadians in extraordinary and meaningful ways.
