Since 2020, the world has endured the Covid-19 crisis. Although there has been good control in handling the pandemic lately, there are still some changes and effects, one of which is on the working system. Some people who usually work at the office now work remotely. These shifts should not have hindered us from being productive. Therefore, to encourage people working in the middle of the pandemic, the UGM Faculty of Political and Sciences organized a webinar entitled “Bincang Sehat,” or a healthy talk through Tim Wellness Center. The theme raised in this webinar is “Kerja Cerdas dan Sehat di Era Pandemi” or “Smart and Healthy Working amid a Pandemic.”
There have been several webinar series dedicated to lecturers, education staff, students, and the community. Last Friday (9/4), the second webinar implementation raised a theme entitled “5M, 3T, and Vaccination during the New Normal”.
Deputy Dean for Finance and Human Resources of the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences UGM, Dr. Nurhadi, revealed that FISIPOL implemented new normal protocols in five areas, namely working mechanism, health protocols information system, infrastructures, and institutional.
FISIPOL explained that after the activity restriction policy on campus last May, the faculty began to design a working mechanism. It started with a simulation phase where only 25 percent of employees were working from the office (WfO), a partial phase with 50 percent of employees working in the office, and the new normal phase where every employee could work from the office.
“Currently, we have never implemented full WfO. So far, we could only implement 50 percent WfO and 50 percent WfH until now,” he said.
Besides, the UGM Task Force in FISIPOL tightly implemented the health protocols of 5M and 3T. The Covid Task Force for 5M conducts coordination with protocols implementation. Meanwhile, the 3T Task Force monitors tracing, testing, and treatment.
“We also conduct knowledge production and sharing. The faculty had published two books that involved collaboration from several faculties and universities outside UGM,” he said.
On the other hand, Dr. Rustamaji, as the Head of the Covid-19 Task Force, revealed an improvement in handling the Covid-19 pandemic. It was proven through the number of reductions on the Covid-19 cases in Depok within the last few weeks. UGM also provides 3T facilities for its staff, such as providing isolation rooms. In addition, UGM also provides blended scheme learning method implementation, both online and offline, and still prioritizes every person’s health.
“We are currently preparing a blended learning program that is following the health protocols both for facilities and infrastructure,” he added.
