Implementation of Paternity Policy at Universitas Padjadjaran
Universitas Padjadjaran implements a paternity policy that grants leave rights to male employees whose spouses are pregnant or giving birth. This policy is designed to ensure that fathers can actively participate in childbirth, childcare, and emotional support for both mother and newborn, promoting shared parenting responsibilities. By allowing paternity leave, Unpad reinforces the importance of fathers’ roles in fostering family well-being and work-life balance, while promoting gender equality within the academic environment.
This initiative reflects Unpad’s understanding that childcare is not solely a woman’s responsibility, but a shared duty that should be institutionally supported. The policy contributes to the creation of a family-friendly workplace, where staff well-being and family responsibilities are valued as integral to institutional performance and employee satisfaction. Through this approach, Unpad strengthens inclusivity and equality in employment practices.
