Initiatives to support Childcare
Diversified working styles: Initiatives Regarding Male Parental Leave Uptake
We are advancing the establishment of programs to support employees in having a fulfilling life, such as balancing childcare and nursing responsibilities. Additionally, by promoting understanding among not only the individuals but also supervisors and workplaces, we have increased the uptake rate of male parental leave and absence. We have expanded the previously available 3-day parental leave(paid leave), which was only applicable to certain companies, across the entire Group to encourage male employees to participate in childcare.
*ANA Group: ANA HOLDINGS, 37 subsidiaries to which the Group company management rule applies, totaling 38 companies
E-Learning to Support for Balancing Work and Childcare
We implemented the "Work-Life Balance Support E-Learning" to assist employees in balancing work and childcare responsibilities, addressing this challenge in a more flexible and effective manner. This initiative not only focuses on enhancing individual skills but also emphasizes fostering understanding and cooperation within the workplace. Through understanding and empathy, we aim to support employees and their families in building happy and fulfilling lives.
Work-Life Balance Support Tools
We provide various helpful information for employees when returning to work after a leave of absence and about balancing work and childcare.
Training for Managers
We conduct training for managers who have employees returning to work after childcare leave to promote understanding of the environment for employees in the childcare phase. We provide tips and communication guidance for management on how to support the growth and success of employees returning to work after childcare leave.
Corporate Daycare Centers
To ensure that employees can work with peace of mind, we have established corporate daycare centers at Haneda Airport and Naha Airport. Our aim is to support the healthy growth of children and provide childcare that values individuality. These daycare centers also serve as a place for communication among the Group's employees.
The “Hello Baby Card”
The "Hello Baby Card" is a special initiative that provides an opportunity to send encouragement to employees who have become new parents. This initiative was created as part of our commitment to valuing the harmony between family and work and nurturing a culture of empathy and support.
