ANA Group Code of Conduct for the Employment of People with Disabilities
At the ANA Group, we promote understanding related to the hiring of people with disabilities, mainly through our HR managers. At the group-wide level, however, there is not always sufficient understanding of the hiring of people with disabilities, as these individuals are not positioned in all workplaces. In light of this, we created the 36K-Employee Kickoff, a code of conduct for the employment of people with disabilities in the ANA Group. The code was developed after holding several meetings and overnight sessions at the ANA Training & Education Center. A total of more than 50 employees, including HR managers from Group companies and people with disabilities, took part in the meetings and sessions.
The Group companies that have already met the legally mandated employment quota will use the 36K-Employee Kickoff as a basis to promote appropriate and mutual understanding concerning the hiring of people with disabilities among all employees. The ANA Group aims to become a strong organization where all employees, regardless of their challenges, can play an active role in their company.
In light of such situations, the ANA Group has newly established the “smart challenge Esystem to enable employees with disabilities to take on new challenges by eliminating the borders between Group companies. The new system was put into action from June 1, 2015 to ensure that people with disabilities can continue to work at the ANA Group and exert their strengths.
ANA Health Frontier Declaration
In 2006, ANA formulated the ANA Health Frontier Declaration, which aims to enhance corporate vitality and curtail rising medical costs by promoting the health and enhancing the quality of life (QOL) of our employees. Guided by this declaration, ANA, its employees, and its health insurance unions have made a concerted effort to implement measures to promote good health such as lifestyle improvement programs and mental health support initiatives. Specifically, we have organized a walking program and a program to help employees quit smoking as well as provided exercise and nutrition guidance by dedicated staff. As a result, we have steadily improved our numerical performance in terms of defined health targets for our employees, namely, body mass index (BMI), rate of employees who smoke, and health checkup assessment results.
Furthermore, with the aim of enhancing support for mental health, we have conducted regular stress checks in order to boost our employees Eability to self-regulate and prevent mental health conditions from arising. We have also provided mental health training by qualified counselors for newly appointed managers to help them identify any mental health issues among their subordinates as early as possible and provide support to their subordinates during leave and when returning to work, etc. We believe that promoting the health of our employees will help to boost their motivation and thus increase our corporate value. Based on this belief, we will continue to actively promote good health among all employees of the ANA Group, with a view to enhancing the
