People's feelings have changed dramatically since the spread of the COVID-19 in the beginning of 2020. Particularly under post-COVID-19 (the New Normal), "remote", "contactless", and "safety and peace of mind" become more important. Under these circumstances, many companies are looking for new work style that incorporates remote work.

In response to these work style transformation, Konica Minolta aims to establish its new hybrid work style in which employees, teams and divisions can use different workplaces according to their objectives. The company will maximize the following values by working while thinking about the demanded outputs independently.

• Value of remote work, such as connected anytime, anywhere, globally
• Value of work in the office, such as value creation based on real things and face-to-face communication

Konica Minolta is advancing a variety of initiatives to evolve this way of working.
For example, Konica Minolta Japan is enhancing its own output and creating value for the customers by implementing new office work styles based on the concept of "Tsunagu office" in the Hamamatsu-cho Building, as spearheading transformation. "Tsunagu" means connect in Japanese.
