Description

  The present invention relates to a system that supports work-life balance measures in companies and the like.

  Recently, work-life balance is regarded as important. Work-life balance (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as "WLB") is translated as "harmony between work and life", and "each person works while having a sense of worth and fulfillment, and it is on the job In addition to fulfilling our responsibilities, we also refer to the ability to select and realize diverse ways of life, depending on the stages of our life, such as childcare and middle-aged and elderly, in the family and community life. Therefore, Premium Friday, which is a campaign to stimulate personal consumption advocated by the Japanese government and the business community in 2017, has started. Also, each company is implementing various measures to reduce long working hours.

  On the other hand, the widespread use of multifunctional IC cards is in progress. A multifunctional IC card is a single IC card having a plurality of functions. For example, the credit card function is added with a cash card function, a traffic IC card function, a point card function, various ID card functions, etc., and the service of each card can be received by presenting only one card. be able to.

  Specifically, Non-Patent Document 1 describes that the operation of an employee ID system utilizing a multi-function IC card has been started. According to this system, the form and contents of employee ID card, cafeteria card, entry card and exit card issued to each business location are unified, and the security (security) basis of information system and cash of in-house payment are unified. It is possible to realize simplified and efficient support operations by reducing account settlement and reducing the number of payroll processing tasks.

  In addition, the applicant also pays attention to the possibility of the IC card, and in Patent Document 1, for the user who made the card payment, the period dynamically set for this user (the user or the company to which the user belongs belongs. There is disclosed an information processing apparatus capable of providing an appropriate benefit according to a settable period, for example, a period of work, a period of business trip, a period of vacation, and the like.

  Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, modes (hereinafter, embodiments) for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail. In the following drawings, the same elements are denoted by the same reference numerals or symbols throughout the description of the embodiments. Also, in the functional configuration diagram, arrows between functional blocks indicate the flow direction of data or the flow direction of processing.

(Basic concept)
FIG. 1 is a view showing the basic concept of a work-life balance support system (hereinafter referred to as the present system) according to an embodiment of the present invention. This system is a system for supporting measures for work-life balance of companies (company or country or local public organizations), and is used as a part of work time management and welfare for employees of companies and the like. Hereinafter, a company or the like will be simply referred to as a "company".

  In this system, a certain work-life balance point (hereinafter referred to as “WLB point”) is given to employees as a company's work-life balance measure. If you present an employee identification card such as an employee ID card at a designated affiliated store within a specified time zone (for example, within 2 hours from the company's regular retirement time or core time end time), work-life balance at that affiliated store Benefits (hereinafter referred to as "WLB benefits") are received. The WLB points can be used as a part or all of the use fees at the affiliated stores as the WLB benefits. In addition, the affiliated store may provide a service such as time extension at the same usage charge as a WLB benefit. The employee identification card used here is not an employee ID card, as long as it contains information (employee ID, date of birth, name, etc.) that can identify the employee of the company. Good. Moreover, it is preferable to have a payment function with a card, and for example, it may be an employee ID card with a card payment function provided with a payment function such as a credit card.

  Note that WLB points are not awarded by companies, but are awarded by Kad in response to a determination that the current use matches the WLB conditions when an employee presents a card at a partner store. It may be a method. In addition, WLB points may be allocated to the usage fee, or if WLB points are stored in a fixed amount, they may be exchanged for discount tickets at stores. In addition, although it is not the WLB point system, the employee rearranges the usage charge at the store, saves the usage record, and checks whether the saved usage record meets the WLB conditions described later. At a later date, a company may take a scheme to compensate.

  In addition, affiliated stores are stores that have entered into a work-life balance contract with a company, and stores of a type that is considered preferable for improving the work-life balance of employees of the company (for example, hobbies, lessons, health promotion Stores that provide services for More specifically, English conversation classes, yoga classes, cooking classes, gyms, batting centers, single golf clubs, beauty salons, barber shops, massage shops, nail salon shops, etc. that can be stopped before and after work can be considered. . In addition, facilities suitable for holiday refreshment and family service as well as before and after work (for example, baseball field, soccer field, golf course, theme park, amusement park, zoo, botanical garden, aquarium, swimming pool, super public bath, etc. It may be a leisure facility). In some cases, it may include a part of a shop or restaurant for enjoying shopping.

  In this system, as described above, a company and a card company have an issuance contract of an IC card capable of identifying an employee of a company, for example, an employee ID card with a credit card function. The employee ID card with a credit card function can be used as a payment method for employees' identification cards, company entry and exit gates, in-house cafeterias, etc., and can be used as a credit card in ordinary stores. . The card payment function may be an electronic money card or a debit card as well as a credit card.

  Companies have entered into partnership agreements with stores that provide services as described above, and defined conditions that would contribute to improving the work-life balance of company employees when using the services of the stores. (Work-life balance condition) is set. For example, in the case of a massage shop, the WLB condition defines a condition for providing a benefit such as providing a special discount for the use of the employee during the time zone until the evening of a weekday. The WLB conditions set here are also notified to the card company, and the card company stores the WLB conditions for each combination of the company and the affiliated store in the WLB condition storage unit of the system of the card company. Alternatively, the affiliated store may store the WLB condition regarding the own store in the WLB condition storage unit of the store. Alternatively, the WLB condition storage unit may be provided on the corporate system side and shared with the card company / affiliated store.

  When an employee presents a payment card with employee identification function (for example, an employee ID card with a credit card function) at a partner store after leaving the office or after leaving Flex's core time, the company ID and the employee ID are included. The card information and the store ID are sent to the card company, and the employee and the affiliated store are authenticated by the card company, and it is judged in advance whether or not the WLB conditions set in the store and the company are met. Although a company grants a fixed amount to employees every year for WLB points, when employees present cards at partner stores, it is determined that the current use matches the WLB conditions. WLB points are used (consumed). In addition, when the WLB conditions are met, that effect is notified to the affiliated stores, and the notified stores receive, as a predetermined benefit defined under the WLB conditions, for example, a usage fee discount, free of charge other than the WLB points You may make it provide services, such as time extension service and the issue of a coupon, etc. In addition, the company side shall bear the expenses (WLB expenses) of the affiliated store or card company required for the service of the WLB measure.

  By doing this, the employee can realize the benefits of returning home quickly, and the resistance to returning home will be less. That is, since it is recommended as a company to live in consideration of the work-life balance, early return for using (digesting) WLB points is a good cause. In addition, for companies, it is possible to improve employee welfare, manage working hours for employee health, and in some cases, reduce unnecessary overtime. In addition, for affiliated stores, it is an opportunity to attract employees of a company, and it is possible to make effective use of the time slots if the use of a relatively vacant time slot is a work-life balance condition for affiliated stores. Also, for card companies, it is possible to increase card members and affiliated stores by providing new services while making social contributions.

First Embodiment
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a functional configuration of the work-life balance support system according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In this figure, the functional configuration of the enterprise system 20, the card company partner store system 30, and the card company system 40 for providing the service will be described in more detail.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the enterprise system 20 includes an affiliate store management unit 21 that manages affiliate stores, an entry / exit gate 22 that detects entry / exit times to an enterprise, and employees from the entry / exit gate 22. Employee entrance and exit management unit 23, which acquires and manages entry and exit times, employee information DB 24 that stores employee information, and employees that meet the WLB conditions (work-life balance conditions) and affiliated stores WLB point management unit 25 (work-life balance points) which acquires information from the card company from the card company and manages it, and notifies employees and their superiors of the use status of points (WLB points) as benefits for work-life balance behavior Management department) and. In addition, the specific example of the data stored in employee information DB24 is mentioned later.

  When affiliated store system 30 enters into a tie-up contract with a company, the tie-up company registration unit 31 that registers the tie-up information and the card information of the presented customer are read and transmitted to the card company for authentication. The shop terminal 35 which performs a payment process is provided.

  The card company system 40 receives a card settlement unit 41 for processing card settlements, a tie-up registration acceptance unit 42 for accepting tie-up registration information (WLB registration information) of company and tie-up stores, and registering with tie-up company / store DB 43; At the same time, the WLB condition determination unit reads the WLB conditions (work-life balance conditions) from the WLB condition storage unit 44 stored in the tie-up company / store DB 43 and determines whether or not the current card use matches the WLB conditions. 45 (work-life balance condition judging unit), WLB point payment processing unit 46 which processes payment with WLB points when the WLB conditions are met, and the employee uses the meeting the WLB conditions at the affiliated store , Use of WLB points, or when an employee presents a card at a partner store, this use meets the WLB conditions. Then includes a WLB point notification unit 47 which notifies the affiliated store system 30 and the enterprise system 20 according to a determination (work-life balance point notification unit), a.

  In addition, when the company system 20 prepares the agreed WLB condition in advance and provides the partner store or card company with means for transmitting (WLB condition sharing unit) and the employee presents the card at the partner store, this time It may be configured to include means (WLB point usage amount receiving means described later) for receiving notification of the usage amount of WLB points in response to determining that the use matches the WLB condition. The WLB condition may be agreed with the affiliated store based on the one determined by the company, or may be agreed based on a proposal from the affiliated store. In the latter case, services newly created at the store can be added to the WLB condition quickly. A specific example of data stored in the WLB condition storage unit 44 will be described later.

  According to the present embodiment, an employee who passes through the entrance / exit gate 22 at the time of leaving presents an employee ID card with credit card function (hereinafter referred to as a card 10) at a partner store within a predetermined time set under the WLB condition. Then, card information including a company ID and an employee ID is transmitted to the card settlement unit 41 of the card company system 40. At that time, the card use information including the leaving time and the card presentation time is delivered to the WLB condition determination unit 45, and the WLB condition determination unit 45 matches the time condition defined in the WLB condition from the card use information. Determine if it exists. For example, if the WLB condition stipulates that the company's scheduled withdrawal from work (e.g. 17 o'clock) is within 1.5 hours, the departure time is after 17 o'clock and the card presentation time is before 18:30. If there is, it is determined that the WLB condition is met. Further, in the case of a company adopting a flex system, it is determined that the WLB condition is met even when a card is presented within 1.5 hours from the end time of core time (for example, 15 o'clock).

  Therefore, even if you leave the company at an early time, it may not meet the WLB conditions if you use a partner store after making a stop. In the above example, the WLB condition is determined based on only the time information, but an attribute of an employee (age, gender, etc.) may be added to the determination condition. For example, in the case where the affiliated store is a beauty salon or a nail salon, if only female employees are defined as the target and WLB conditions, gender is also a determination condition. In addition, when the affiliated store is a restaurant, it may be targeted only for employees who have registered as a hobby for eating. Therefore, in this case, the hobby is also the determination condition. However, drinking parties etc. may not be covered, and restrictions may be placed on usage hours and fees at restaurants.

  The WLB point payment processing unit 46 is a process that makes it possible to pay part or all of the card use amount with WLB points. Specifically, the WLB points are converted into an amount according to a predetermined rule, and the card use amount is reduced by the converted amount. For example, assuming that the amount of money spent at a partner store is 3000 yen and 1 WLB point is 100 yen, the billed amount for the card user is 2000 yen if 10 WLB points are used. A company pays the card company an amount corresponding to the WLB points used.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the details of the function of the WLB point management unit 25 of the enterprise system 20. As shown in FIG. As illustrated, the WLB point management unit 25 is a database for managing WLB point usage conditions, a WLB condition DB 250A (work-life balance condition storage means), which is a database for storing the agreed WLB conditions for each affiliated store. And WLB point management DB 250 B. The WLB point management unit 25 further includes a WLB condition transmission unit 251 that appropriately transmits the WLB conditions stored in the WLB condition DB 250A to the partner store system 30 or the card company system 40. The WLB condition DB 250A on the company system 20 side may be shared with the card company system 40 or the affiliated store system 30. Of course, if the companies agree, the WLB conditions can be changed as appropriate.

  Here, it is assumed that the WLB condition DB 250A stores a predetermined WLB condition in agreement with a partner store. In addition, the WLB condition transmission unit 251 transmits information related to the determination of the WLB conditions, such as the leaving time of an employee, to the partner store or the card company as the WLB conditions to be transmitted. By doing this, it is possible to make the affiliated store or the card company judge on the day that a specific employee meets the WLB conditions in real time. In addition, it is desirable that the leaving time not only includes that of the day, but also the usual leaving time of the employee. By doing this, for example, even if an employee who normally leaves at 22:00 leaves the room at 20:00 and uses a partner store, it is determined that the condition meets the WLB condition. Sometimes. It is because the employee who has many overtime work returns earlier than usual contributes to the improvement of work-life balance. Of course, if you leave the building earlier and use the affiliated store, there is also the possibility that you can receive time service etc. at that store, so you can receive double benefits in that case.

  In addition, the WLB point management unit 25 receives an application for using WLB points from the employee terminal, and the WLB point use accepting unit 252 and the amount of use of WLB points when an employee uses a service that meets the WLB conditions ( WLB usage equivalent amount payment to the partner store system 30 / card company system 40 to pay the amount equivalent to the used WLB points to the WLB usage reception means 253 which receives points from the partner store system 30 / card company system 40 And means 254. In addition, the WLB point management unit 25 digests WLB points to, for example, a WLB point granting unit 255 that grants an employee constant WLB points every year as a predetermined benefit, and a terminal of a supervisor such as the employee's boss. With respect to the WLB point digest status display means 256 for displaying the status, and for employees who use the WLB point less, the employee can use a message etc. for guiding the use of the WLB point by the instruction of the supervisor or the automatic judgment of the system. The WLB point use induction notifying means 257 for notifying the terminal, the store offer receiving means 258 for receiving a benefit offer for WLB promotion from the affiliate store system 30 or the card company system 40, and the store offer received to the employee terminal A store offer notifying means 259 for making the information available. By doing this, the company can grasp the usage status of the employee's WLB points. Note that specific examples of the store offer reception unit 258 and the store offer notification unit 259 will be described later.

Second Embodiment
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a functional configuration of a work-life balance support system according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In the first embodiment, the card company mainly determines the WLB condition. However, in the second embodiment, the WLB condition is determined on the side of the affiliated store. Hereinafter, only differences from the first embodiment will be described.

  In the second embodiment, a partner company registration unit 31 for transmitting and receiving information to and from a partner company, and registering partner information in the partner store system 30, and a WLB condition storage unit 32 for storing predetermined WLB conditions; The WLB condition determination unit 33 that determines the WLB condition for the WLB benefit, and the WLB point notification unit 34 that delivers that effect to the partnering enterprise registration unit 31 to notify the partnering company that the WLB benefit has been used. In the case of card payment, the card use information of the card 10 is read and passed to the WLB condition judging unit 33, and the shop terminal 35 receives the judgment result and presents it to the employee. The function of each part is almost the same as that of the first embodiment, so the detailed description of each function is omitted. However, the affiliated store in the second embodiment may not necessarily be a card affiliated store, and in this case, it will be cash settlement rather than card settlement.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, it is necessary for the affiliated store to have its own system, but conversely, the affiliated store provides its own service without depending on the card company. can do. For example, the use or grant of WLB points can be processed independently of the card company's system, cash settlement, use of a store point card of a paper medium often performed in a conventional store, certain stores If points are accumulated, WLB benefits such as cash discount and free time extension service can be provided on their own.

  The first embodiment and the second embodiment may be implemented alone or in combination. Moreover, when paying with a credit card, it is also possible to combine with the commodity purchase support method described in JP-A-2012-58974 filed / registered by the inventors. In that case, in anticipation of discounted rates being offered from affiliated stores, notify the employee of the current available amount of card (the amount of the credit card amount minus the billed amount of the unpaid card). It is also good.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a specific example of employee information stored in the employee information DB 24. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the employee information stores the employee's name, date of birth, gender, address, family structure, hobbies, etc., and also stores employee ID, department ID, department employee ID Be done. In addition, whether the employee is a flextime employee or not, if it is flextime, the core time, the standard (default) work start time and work end time applied by the employee, past work Stores the time results. If the monthly (or weekly) overtime hours of the working hours result exceed the limit value, this may be notified to the employee and the head of department.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a specific example of employee entry and exit records stored in the employee information DB 24. As shown in FIG. As described above, since the time is recorded each time an employee having an employee ID passes through the entrance / exit gate 22 of the company, the employee ID is used instead of the time card. Therefore, in the enterprise system 20, the time of entering and leaving the employee is recorded. Not only the time of leaving the company but also the time of leaving for eating etc. are recorded.

  In addition, as shown in the column of reference numerals 231 and 232 in FIG. 6, the partner entrance / exit record may record tie-up store utilization time and action points acquired from the tie-up store system 30 or the card company system 40. . By looking at this record, the company can grasp the usage of work-life balance measures of employees. In addition, the action points in this example are positive points for using partner stores in the time zone suitable for work-life balance (use in the early hours), and conversely, using partner stores in time zones not suitable for the work-life balance It is set to be awarded negative points for (night use). The "early time" mentioned here may be any time earlier than the employee's usual return time, and may not necessarily be immediately after the regular leaving time or immediately after the flex core time. Also, action points may be added to or subtracted from WLB points. By doing this, it is possible to distinguish between positive behavior and negative behavior for work-life balance.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a specific example of the “WLB condition table” stored in the work life balance condition storage unit. The WLB condition table is an easy-to-understand table form of the WLB conditions, and here, for each affiliated store, an example of a WLB benefit contracted with each affiliated company is shown. Of course, it may be a table showing contracts of WLB benefits (or WLB points) with each affiliated store for each company.

  As shown in this example, even in the same affiliated store, WLB benefits vary depending on the affiliated company. For example, in the WLB privilege indicated by reference numeral 441, the time discount 25% is for company A, while the time discount 20% for company B and the time discount 15% for company C. This difference is caused by the burden of the partner company or the share of expenses.

  As indicated by reference numeral 442, the employee's home may also be registered as a virtual partner store. Of course, no WLB points will be awarded at home, but employees will go home early to avoid fatigue on the day before the holidays, etc., and family services will be performed on the following day's holidays to provide family reward services (special dishes and shoulder massage If they can receive the service, etc., they will contribute to the improvement of the work-life balance of the employees above all. Companies should receive provision of support information from such a family, and in that case, register information corresponding to the employee's home, family, and WLB conditions in the affiliated store management unit 21 and manage WLB points. The information from the family may be accepted by the section 25 by e-mail or the like. In this way, employees' families can also cooperate with the company's work-life balance measures.

  The functional configuration of the present system described above is merely an example, and one functional block (database and function processing unit) may be divided, or a plurality of functional blocks may be collectively configured as one functional block. . In each function processing unit, a central processing unit (CPU) incorporated in the apparatus reads a computer program stored in a storage device such as a read only memory (ROM), a flash memory, a solid state drive (SSD), or a hard disk. , By a computer program executed by the CPU. That is, each function processing unit reads and writes necessary data such as a table from a database (DB) stored in a storage device or a storage area on a memory, and in some cases, the computer program It is realized by controlling hardware (for example, an input / output device, a display device, a communication interface device). Further, the database (DB) in the embodiment of the present invention may be a commercial database, but also means a mere collection of tables and files, and the internal structure of the database itself is not limited.

(Processing flow)
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a flow of WLB processing in the card company system 40 in the first embodiment. The WLB process is a series of processes performed by the card company system 40 until the employee presents the card 10 and uses or gives WLB points to the employee. Each step will be sequentially described below. In this processing flow chart (flow chart), the processing order of each step may be interchanged as long as the relationship between the input and the output of each step is not impaired.
