Telkom University’s Staff Hunger Interventions: Strengthening Well-Being Through Accessible Food Support

Provision of Food Tenants and Canteens

To make nutritious food easily available, Telkom University has positioned more than 15 food tenants and canteens across strategic areas of the campus—particularly near offices and academic centers. Each canteen houses multiple food tenants that cater to diverse tastes and dietary needs. For instance, the Ruang Riung Canteen accommodates around 13 tenants, while the Asrama Putri Canteen features approximately 11 tenants. The TULT and Asrama Putra Canteen hosts about 10 tenants, followed by the FIT Canteen with 5 tenants, and the Engineering Canteen with 3 tenants. These diverse food outlets collectively ensure that staff members can enjoy affordable, varied, and nutritious meals without needing to travel far from their workplaces. This initiative illustrates the university’s proactive stance in addressing food accessibility as part of its ongoing staff hunger interventions.

Pantries in Every Building

Every major building at Telkom University—covering over 20 academic and administrative facilities—is equipped with a pantry, managed by the respective unit within. These pantries function as comfortable spaces where staff members can store personal food supplies, heat up their meals, or prepare simple dishes during breaks. By ensuring the supply and access to food banks/pantries, the university provides a practical way to alleviate hunger and support staff in maintaining healthy eating habits during work hours.

Vending Machines in Strategic Locations

Recognizing that staff members often have varying work schedules, Telkom University has installed more than 10 vending machines in several key areas on campus, including near office complexes, research centers, and dormitories. These machines provide round-the-clock access to snacks and beverages, helping staff stay nourished throughout the day. The availability of such machines reflects the university’s ongoing commitment to accessibility and convenience—key values embedded in its staff hunger interventions.

Budget Allocation for Meeting Refreshments

In addition to these facilities, Telkom University designates a specific budget for meeting refreshments, ensuring that food and beverages are available during internal and official gatherings. This initiative helps maintain focus and productivity, especially during lengthy discussions or workshops. Food orders are managed through a centralized system, Logas.id, which simplifies the process and ensures consistent food quality across departments.Conclusion

Through a well-integrated approach that combines food tenants, pantries, vending machines, and budget allocations for meeting refreshments, Telkom University continues to prioritize the well-being of its staff. These comprehensive staff hunger interventions ensure that every member of the academic workforce has access to nutritious and affordable food options. By fostering convenience, inclusivity, and care, the university strengthens a positive and productive environment—affirming that staff well-being remains one of its highest commitments.
