Corporate world embraces Feng Shui
08 Aug 2008
When I initially became interested in Feng Shui about ten years ago, it was considered a bit weird and kooky in the West. How times change! Now international companies such as Canon are flocking to use the wisdom of feng shui to redesign their offices. Even the Wall Street Journal is reporting on such events.
International, cutting-edge, technology-based, multi-billion dollar company, Canon Europe took a socially responsible stand last fall and went back to the ancient natural science of Feng Shui.
Canon’s initial interest for Feng Shui came after reviewing a new, groundbreaking research study into the causes of office stress conducted by ICM Research. In the study they interviewed 1,857 office workers in 18 European countries including UK, Germany, Italy, France and Spain. The findings were that an overwhelming 60 percent of respondents felt that their office layout increased their stress levels with 19 percent feeling it “significantly” increased stress.
Fascinating how the ancient Chinese art of Feng Shui can be applied to modern western corporate life!
