ADVANTEST BEGINS OFFERING "ADVANTAGE HARMONY," A MANAGEMENT SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR EMPLOYEES ON MATERNITY, CHILDCARE, AND PERSONAL INJURY AND ILLNESS LEAVE - SUPPORTING EMPLOYEES ON LEAVE TO RETURN TO WORK AND BALANCE WORK AND FAMILY

ADVANTAGE RISK MANAGEMENT CO., LTD. WILL START OFFERING "ADVANTAGE HARMONY," A CLOUD-BASED SYSTEM FOR MANAGING ALL INFORMATION ON EMPLOYEES WHO ARE ABSENT FROM WORK, IN NOVEMBER. THE COMPANY HAS GREATLY EXPANDED THE FUNCTIONS OF "H-ARM-ONY," A SYSTEM FOR MANAGING EMPLOYEES ON LEAVE OF ABSENCE FROM WORK FOR PERSONNEL AND LABOR MANAGEMENT STAFF, AND RENEWED IT AS A COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM WITH A VIEW TO CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH EMPLOYEES ON LEAVE CAN RETURN TO WORK AND BALANCE WORK WITH PEACE OF MIND, IN ADDITION TO ENHANCING MANAGEMENT SUPPORT FUNCTIONS.

According to the company release, 'In recent years, the number of people taking leave from work in companies and organisations has been increasing, and the challenges they face have become more diverse, including childcare, nursing care, mental health problems and cancer treatment. At the same time, recruitment is becoming increasingly difficult, so attention is being paid to supporting the smooth return to work of those who have taken time off and to balancing work with childcare and treatment of illnesses.
However, the management of employees on leave is a highly individualised task, with a wide range of tasks scheduled during the period of absence and the calculation of the period of absence, making it difficult to improve efficiency. In addition, the difficulty in contacting employees who are absent from work places a heavy burden on those in charge of managing absent employees.
In addition, these tasks have not been systemised due to their highly individual nature, and the recent development of remote working in the Corona disaster has made the task of managing absent employees even more complex.
The newly developed ADVANTAGE HARMONY service systemises these complex absence management tasks, thereby significantly reducing the workload of personnel and labour affairs staff.
Furthermore, it not only supports personnel and labour relations staff, but also provides comprehensive support for balancing work with childcare, medical treatment, etc." The service is also designed to support HR and labour managers in their efforts to balance childcare and medical treatment.

 

FEATURES OF "ADVANTAGE HARMONY

  1. Automatically calculates the period of absence and the scheduled work implementation date for the person in charge for each rule of absence (absence or leave of absence), reducing the burden on the person in charge in adjusting the management schedule.
  2. Reminds the person in charge to perform the work according to the work schedule. Prevents omission of work and improves work quality.
  3. Centralized management of records (interview records, chats, etc.) related to employees on leave and smooth coordination of information among related parties.
  4. CONNECT WITH THE ABSENT EMPLOYEE VIA "MY PAGE" (PC AND SMARTPHONE COMPATIBLE) TO FACILITATE COMMUNICATION WITH THE ABSENT EMPLOYEE.
  5. Provide "compatibility support services (rework and balancing with cancer treatment)" to help employees return to work or stabilize after returning to work, and support the prevention of re-employment and other absences.

The company's mission is to create an environment in which employees can work with peace of mind, and it will continue to promote services that support employees in balancing work with personal injury and illness, childcare, and nursing care, as well as business support for personnel and labor relations staff. The company states.

The use of maternity and childcare leave, especially for men, will continue to increase in the future, and systems that support the management of such leave, return to work, and support the balancing of work and life are right there for those who need them. I hope that this type of service will continue to increase in the future.
