How Telkom University Protects Whistleblowers Reporting Discrimination

Telkom University is committed to fostering an inclusive environment where discrimination has no place. This commitment includes establishing a strong framework to protect those who report discrimination, shielding them from educational or workplace repercussions. Telkom University’s approach is governed by clear policies that promote safe reporting channels and uphold confidentiality for those bringing forward concerns.

Internal Regulations: Ethical and Compliance Standards

The foundation of this protective framework lies in Telkom University’s internal regulation No. 0372/00/DGA-02/YPT/2017. This regulation outlines ethical and compliance standards for university employees, with specific protections for those reporting any form of policy violation, including discrimination. According to Article 4, Paragraph 2 of this regulation, employees are required to report instances of policy breaches to their superiors, fostering a culture of accountability and transparency. This provision serves as a cornerstone for promoting a workplace where ethical conduct is encouraged and supported. For clear information about the regulation can be accessed here

Confidential Reporting: The Halo Rector Platform

Telkom University ensures the privacy of individuals reporting discrimination through an online platform called Halo Rector. This secure system allows students and staff to confidentially submit reports without fear of exposure or retaliation. Halo Rector’s design prioritizes the safety and discretion of whistleblowers, reassuring them that their identities will remain confidential, and any information shared will be handled with the utmost sensitivity.

Protecting Educational and Workplace Well-being

The policy emphasizes protection from adverse outcomes for those who report incidents. Telkom University understands that a secure reporting environment encourages transparency and accountability, essential in building trust within the campus community.

Through robust reporting mechanisms and dedicated privacy measures, Telkom University stands by its commitment to creating a safe, supportive educational environment.
