The ANA Group has implemented various training policies and systems to promote activity by female, aged and other employees, and to enable all employees to work energetically. Examples of promoting activity by female employees include conducting women’s career training and seminars for those taking maternity or childcare leave, introducing role models via an intranet, and introducing a mentor system in which senior employees offer continuous support for nurturing newer employees. Other programs to promote diverse work styles and work/life balance among employees of both genders include lectures and seminars, manager training and telecommuting. With these initiatives, the number of employees taking childcare leave is increasing, with almost all returning to the workplace. The percentage of women in management positions is also increasing year by year.
