Human Resource Policies and Procedures Pertaining to Human
Resource Management
Introduction
The Institute espouses the following interlinked values pertaining to the management and development
of people within it for the purpose of reaching a sustainable peak performance at work for the best
interest of the Institute as a whole:
Trust
The Institute recognizes that trust is critical in the working of human relationship. Enforcement
of rules would mean little without the presence of trust in personal and professional
relationships. Therefore, the Institute espouses trust as one of its primary values which forms
the basis for sustainable and healthy professional relationships at work. It believes that trust
begets trust and propagates immediate improvement in relationships and work results.
The underlining mechanism of trust is the continual exchanges of good will and good faith that
reciprocate each other and build upon relationships to even greater heights.
The Institute recognizes that each member of the staff and faculty is intrinsically motivated to
perform their best given the prevailing circumstances and conditions. Thus, it is within the
Institute’s responsibility to try to set and maintain the best possible conditions for work at the
workplace.
Openness
A culture of trust would not be possible without the cultivation of openness at work. Openness
through the appreciation of feedback and criticism creates an environment that relieves
unnecessary tensions and miscommunications that could otherwise hinder peak performance
delivery and stale the work environment to the long-term detriment of the Institute. The
Institute believes that everyone matters and everyone has a voice because everyone
contributes, small or big, to the greater good of the institute as a whole.
Empowerment
The Institute believes that individual employee should be empowered as much as possible and
viable because empowerment creates greater sense of responsibility, commitment and job
satisfaction that correlate positively with the quality of work.
Empowerment may refer to entrustment of greater discretion on the part of employee or
greater degree of decision making power pertaining to one’s professional responsibilities and to
training and other professional development activities that would directly and indirectly
underpin one’s performance at work.
Accountability
The Institute believes that accountability should go in hand with empowerment and is a critical
component in the cultivation of trust at the workplace. Claiming ownership of one’s work
irrespective of the outcome should be considered as principle work ethics in professional life.
Professional fulfillment and growth
The Institute recognizes that at the end of the day, fulfillment at work would probably come
before even the amount of salary one is making, especially in the long run. Job satisfaction ranks
as one of the most prevalent factor in the delivery of peak performance and maintaining high
job retention. As more people resign, the institute would suffer investments in its human capital
development.
The door does swing both ways but if the institute had problems maintaining its best people the
institute would suffer greatly and it would indicate a serious larger issue within the management
as a whole.
Highly competent people are not easy to replace, despite widespread beliefs to the contrary and
it is the view of the Institute to attempt to cultivate a fulfilling work condition for all employees
wherever viable. Employees’ fulfillment at work is in line with the Institute’s best interests.
Arguably, job satisfaction ranks as one of the most prevalent reasons for high productivity and
loyalty. Therefore, the Institute recognizes that satisfied employees are likely to be ones who
are most productive and loyal. In practice, the levels of professional growth and fulfillment
from one’s work could be indicative of one’s job satisfaction. Thus, the Institute places
concern that all employees should be given fair opportunity to grow professionally to the
realization of their best potentials for the sake of the Institute and their careers/professional
lives. Fulfillment although could primarily be an internal driver, could also be propagated
through more humanistic management approaches that offer more flexibility and tolerance
and view employees as valuable resources to be groomed for bigger responsibilities.

Employment status
Based on the nature and bond period of employment there are 4 statuses pertaining to an employment:
1. Probationary employment: a new recruit for indefinite employment goes through a three month probationary period. A probationary employment should not exceed a maximum 3 month period and a performance appraisal would be conducted to decide on the more permanent status of the new recruit in question near the end of the probationary period.
2. Indefinite employment: Employees who have met the set prerequisites might be offered an indefinite employment status with the Institute to receive remuneration on monthly basis in exchange for rendered services for an indefinite or substantially long period of time.
3. Definite employment: Employees who have met the set prerequisites might be offered a definite employment based on written agreement (contract) and receive remuneration in
exchange for rendered services for a preset period of time. Contract renewal or termination would be governed by the quality of rendered services and other considerations as stipulated in the written agreement (contract).
4. Part-time employment: Employees who are deemed qualified to render certain services but are either unable to render full time services to the Institute or are unable to be offered a permanent nor contract-based employment for some reason might be offered a part-time employment status with the Institute. A part-timer employee would devote a fraction of full-time work hours to render specified services to the Institute.
Job grade
Job grade is a system that defines the career ladder within the institute that encompasses the level of seniority and authority recognized at the Institute. The following description doesn’t pertain to the career ladder of members of the faculty (which could be found in the Faculty Handbook):
1. Clerical position: constitutes staff or administrative positions within the institute2. Middle management (supervisors): that constitutes assistants to heads of departments and
heads of units3. Senior management (head of departments/managers): that constitutes the heads of
departments4. Top management (top executives): that constitutes the President, CEO, COO, and Directors
Note that some departments may forgo the middle management hierarchy altogether, depending on their specific needs.
Statement of Responsibilities 111
The Institute as the employer
The Institute bears the following responsibilities with regard to the people it has pooled under its employment:
1. Provide decent remuneration in exchange for rendered services provided by the employees to the Institute in accordance with related government regulations.
2. To ruminate and act for the wellbeing of its employees in the event of work related accidents based on its discretion and good will.
3. Implement work safety procedures in accordance with applied regulations.4. To assign employees in accordance with their abilities and skills as well as the
institutional needs.
The employees as the employed
The employees as the employed bear the following responsibilities to the Institute as the employer:
1. To carry out orders or duties with care and a sense of responsibility, decent in quality in accordance with one’s job description and other tasks in accordance with written or spoken instructions from one’s superior for the benefit of the Institute.
2. Achieve the predetermined goals in accordance to one’s position at work.3. In performing one’s responsibilities at work, an employee is required to follow the set out
work procedure and comply with applied regulations including ones related to workplace health and safety concerns.

Remuneration 111
Remuneration refers to compensation received in exchange for rendered services (work done).
Remuneration of rendered services is provided on monthly monetary basis. Payment is made at the end of each month for services rendered during the month via bank transfer.
The amount of remuneration is decided based upon the job value occupied by each employee by considering the size of responsibilities, level of performance, expertise, hierarchy of the position, risk factors and the national standards of pay.
Re-evaluation of the amount of remuneration is done annually near the end of the year (August-November) based on the levels of dedication, performance, character (integrity) and work achievement of respective employees during the year.
Basis for Acceptance 111
Objective professionalism forms the basis for acceptance to work at the Institute. This means a person
who has met the set qualifications for an open position or who has demonstrated reasonable ability and
character to fulfill his/her responsibilities for the position he/she is applying for is acceptable to occupy
the position. Absence of evidence to the contrary however is not taken as positive evidence that one is
capable to perform the responsibilities tied to the position. Successful appraisal during the probationary
period signifies the Institute’s confidence for the new recruit to occupy the position he/she is applying
for and be entrusted with the responsibilities that the position entails.
Reasonable ability to fulfill one’s intended responsibilities covers qualifications or experience as well as
physical, mental, and cognitive fitness to fulfill the intended responsibilities properly.
Probationary Period
Commonly, a new recruit for indefinite employment is made to go through a three month probationary
period. Each new recruit upon acceptance will be introduced a three month probationary period from
the start.
During the probationary period, the institute has the right to end employment at any time with a month
advance termination notice.
At the end of the three month probationary period, a review meeting will take place between the new
recruit, his/her immediate supervisor along with the possibility of higher level supervisor in addition to
an HR officer. In addition to quarterly probationary performance assessment, the meeting will also
decide on the status of the new recruit and one of the following outcomes could happen, based
primarily on the performance assessment of the new recruit during the period and the suitability of the
recruit’s personality to the Institute’s culture:
1. The probationary period is extended for another three month (if the new recruit was initially
introduced to a three month probationary period)
2. The new recruit is offered a contract based employment
3. The new recruit is offered a full time employment
4. The new recruit is being let go (effective at the end of three month probationary period)
The maximum probationary period for a new recruit is three months and not more as governed by the
Indonesian Employment Act No. 13 Year 2003. six months and not more (2 times of 3 month
probationary period)
The review meeting should discuss on the performance of the new recruit during the probationary
period by taking into consideration the opinion of the new recruit himself/herself and that of his/her
immediate supervisor or higher level supervisor that the new recruit has a direct reporting relationship
to. Self-assessment and that of the recruit’s superior’s ought to be done in written format prior to the
meeting and the content discussed during the review meeting. The purpose of the review meeting is to
align and clarify the expectations of the management and the new recruit himself/herself over his/her
job responsibilities and the expected levels of performance. In addition, it should be made clear that any
feedback given both by the management or the new recruit himself/herself should be made in a
constructive manner in order to further develop both the management and the new recruit’s
professionalism and to respect both parties irrespective of the outcome of such a meeting.
Definite Employment
The terms governing a definite employment ought to be stipulated in a written agreement referred to as
employment contract. Definite employment is meant for rendition of services which could be completed
within specified period of time of not more than three year period.
The initial period of contract should not exceed two years and is extendable, once, by another year in
accordance with the Indonesian Employment Act (Act No. 13 Year 2003).
Internship Article 22
Internship falls within the definite employment category. However the purpose of internship is less of
rendition of service but leans toward training and development of the interns themselves.
Terms governing an internship ought to be stipulated in an internship agreement that should specify the
period of internship and the rights as well as responsibilities of the intern and Institute.
Internship entails the issuance of certificate by the Institute upon completion of the stipulated period.
Standards of Conduct
Equal Opportunity Employment
Indonesia International Institute for Life Sciences (i3L) is committed to selecting and recruiting
employees free from any discrimination of religious, racial, ideological, gender, and physical
nature.
Recruitment, hiring or promotion process which is suspected to be in breach of the Institute’s
equal opportunity policy should be reported to the Director of Academic Affairs (for faculty) or
the head of the Human Capital and Legal Affairs department (for non-faculty) to be further
followed-up. The Director of Academic Affairs or head of the Human Capital department is
compelled upon receipt of such report to verify and investigate the validity of the report which
upon reasonable confirmation must be passed-on to the Academic Senate (for faculty) or to the
Chief Operating Officer (COO, for non-faculty) for formal adjudication of those responsible of the
discriminatory practice that goes against the values and policies of the Institute.
Nepotism
It is inappropriate for employees with familial ties to be in direct reporting relationship to each
other at the workplace and it would constitute an ethical breach of the company’s standards of
conduct. Furthermore, any business dealings that involve payment should also be free of familial
ties between the decision maker involved in the dealing at the Institute and the beneficiary of
payment. However, exceptions could be made when prior notification of such ties are revealed
in advance and reported to the Institute’s COO. Moreover, any activities that would directly
benefit an employee with familial ties ought to be relegated to another employee. Failure to do
so would be deemed as a breach of the Institute’s standards of conduct.
Every member of the Institute is expected to be aware of the potential conflict of interest arising
from the performance of their duties and to be willing to relegate the conflicting professional
duty and to clearly disclose such potential conflict of interest due to involvement of immediate
family or household member to his immediate superior. Failure or neglect to do so may be
viewed as act of nepotism by the Director of Academic Affairs (if faculty member) or the COO
(non-faculty) and may be subject to sanctions by the Academic Senate upon report by the
Director of Academic Affairs (for faculty) or by the Chief Operating Officer (for non-faculty). The
Director of Academic Affairs or COO may however, in his/her discretion, bring the report to the
Ombudsman Committee comprising of the COO, Director of Business Enabler and the Director of
Academic Affairs, to try to resolve the issue confidentially. Failure to resolve the issue through
the Ombudsman Committee would compel the Director of Academic Affairs to report the case
to the Academic Senate for formal adjudication (for faculty) or the COO to adjudicate the issue
(non-faculty).
Sexual Harassment
The Institute views sexual harassment a serious offence and usually carries the penalty of
immediate dishonorable discharge if proven correct. Sexual harassment is viewed as a serious
offence because it is contrary to scholastic values, discriminatory in nature, degrading to the
dignity of a person and potentially bringing psychological and mental anguish and devastation
that potentially may ruin a person’s career.
.Report of allegation of sexual harassment should be submitted to the Director of Academic
Affairs (for faculty) or the COO (non-faculty) as immediately as possible since it is more difficult
to gather evidence and testimonies the longer the report is withheld. Upon verifying the validity
of allegation within a reasonable degree, the Director of Academic Affairs (for faculty) ought to
pass-on the report to the Academic Senate for formal indictment, investigation, hearing and
passing of sanctions (or the COO for non-faculty for adjudication based on his discretion). Based
on the severity of the case, the alleged person may also be reported to the Police for due legal
process.
Unprofessional Conduct
Amorous relationship between two persons in direct reporting relationship to each other or
between an employee and a yet graduating student would constitute a breach of the Institute’s
standards of conduct.
Report of inappropriate relationship between immediate subordinate and superior, or between
two faculty members with relation of asymmetry of power and direct reporting, or between
faculty member or staff and student should be submitted to the Director of Academic Affairs (for
faculty) or the COO (for non-faculty) who will, in his/her discretion, either attempt an informal
closed mediation through the Ombudsman Committee (comprising of the COO, Director of
Business Enabler and the Director for Academic Affairs) or file a formal report to the Academic
Senate for formal indictment, hearing and passing of sanction (for faculty) or be adjudicated by
the discretion of the COO (for non-faculty). Failure to resolve the issue through the Ombudsman
Committee would automatically compel the Director of Academic Affairs to file a formal report
to the Academic Senate (for faculty). Note that romantic relationships between people involving
no apparent relation of power such as those between completely different departments are not
subject to this policy.
Conflict of Interest and Conflict of Commitment
With full-time employment, employees are expected to render their primary loyalty to the
Institute over any other institutions with the exception of state authorities. Therefore, when an
employee stood to gain directly from the performance of his professional duty as required by
the Institute, he or she would be required to disclose the nature of his would be benefit and
upon the discretion of the Director of Academic Affairs (for faculty) or the COO (for non-faculty)
he/she might be required to temporarily relegate the related duty to another designated
employee.
Conflict of interest and conflict of commitment may also refer to instances whereby an
employee is faced with a situation that would directly harm either his personal interests or
those of the Institute’s. In such instances, an employee would be required to report the nature
of his conflict of interest/commitment to his/her direct supervisor so that appropriate decision
could be taken to avoid harm to the Institute’s best interests. Failure to report such conflict
would constitute a breach to the Institute’s standards of conduct.
Any possible occurrence of either conflict of interest or conflict of commitment should be
reported to the Director of Academic Affairs to be further verified, investigated and followed-up
with appropriate actions (for faculty) or the COO (for non-faculty). Report shall be treated as
confidential retaining the anonymity of the reporter throughout the process. Upon reasonable
verification by the Director of Academic Affairs, with her discretion, she may file a formal report
to the Academic Senate (for faculty). Other avenue of resolution that may be pursued by the
VPAA or COO includes an informal and confidential mediation through the Ombudsman
Committee (which membership consists of the COO, Director of Business Enabler and the
Director of Academic Affairs). Failure to resolve the issue through the Ombudsman Committee
automatically would compel the Director of Academic Affairs to file a formal report to the
Academic Senate (for faculty) or the COO to adjudicate the issue based on his discretion (non-
faculty).
Formal Induction
Formal induction into an indefinite employment position entails the issuance of a formal appointment
letter that covers the full name of the new employee, his assigned position within the Institute, detailed
job description, as detailed as viable, and the scope of his/her responsibilities. In addition, an induction
program should be arranged for new employees within three months of joining. The purpose of an
induction program is to verify and clarify any doubts regarding the expected levels of performance at
the Institute and to introduce new employees to the culture of the Institute and to align their
expectations to the Institute’s mission and vision.
Hours of work
The standard hours of work at i3L is from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM with lunch break in between from 12:00
PM to 1:00 PM (Friday from 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM).
In addition, some departments may be required, out of necessity, to work in shifts.
The management also recognizes that every employee might have his/her own unique needs pertaining
to daily working hours. As such, to maintain high morale and performance, the Human Resource
Department might grant minor leniency regarding working hours of individuals under the pretext that
the leniency doesn’t degrade coordination with their coworkers and approval must be obtained from
both their immediate supervisor and the head of department and justifiable reasons are provided for
the minor change in working hours and that the change wouldn’t put the institute’s interests at a
disadvantage. Thus, it is possible to start working, say, at 7:00AM and finish at 4:00 PM or to start at
09:00 AM and to finish at 6:00 PM to avoid traffic congestion on the way home and avoid unnecessary
waste of time on the commute. The management views the employees’ well-being as paramount to
their effectiveness at work and believes that well-rested employees would display sustainable high
performance at work.
Note that abrupt sudden changes to one’s working hours would not be accommodated unless it is a
matter of emergency. Any submission for working hour leniency should be made well before time and
will be locked for a minimum duration of a single month. The approval process could take a few weeks
to a month and would become effective immediately upon approval for the agreed period of time or
until further notice.
Work shifts
Work shifts are used at i3L to accommodate some measure of flexible working hours.
Generally there are two types of work shifts:
1. Weekdays (Monday to Friday)
a. 07:00 AM – 04:00 PM
b. 08:00 AM – 05:00 PM
c. 08:00 AM – 06:00 PM
2. Weekdays and Saturday/*Sunday
Weekdays Saturday
- 07:00 AM - 03:00 PM - 08:00 AM – 02:00 PM
-08:00 AM - 04:00 PM - 09:00 AM – 03:00 PM
- 09:00 AM - 05:00 PM - *02:00 PM – 08:00 PM
- *01:00 PM – 09:00 PM
*Sunday
-*08:00 AM – 02:00 PM
*The text with asterisk is meant to accommodate the building management department
hence the peculiarity of the shift timing.
Break time
The official break time during work hours is from 12:00 PM – 01:00 PM except for Friday which
is from 11:30 AM – 13:30 PM to accommodate the Friday prayer.
Changing working hours: procedure
1. Change in Work Hours can only be done via the approval of each department head.
2. They will need to be submitted to the HR department no later than a month prior to
the proposed change. Special consideration will be given for special circumstances
provided valid and good reason is given for the late submission of work hours
change.
Out of station reporting
When an employee is going to be away from the office for the whole day duration for matters
related to the Institute’s business then he or she is required to report his/her out of station
status prior to the occasion.
1. The attendance system won’t be able to know you were away for i3L business when
you didn’t register for the day.
2. Thus for out station businesses you need to manually report in to the HR
department via the head of your department no later than a week prior to the
planned date. The head of department upon report of his/her subordinate needs to
report the out station status of the reporter no later than a week prior to the
planned date unless the plan was sudden and good reason was provided.
Coming for work on supposedly day off
1. When an employee comes to work on his supposedly day off upon request or
approval from his/her direct supervisor for more than 6 hours (such as Saturday or
Sunday or National Holiday, etc) then he or she is entitled, in exchange, for a
replacement day off unless it is counted toward his/her usual work shift (such as for
some staff in the BM team).
2. Report of coming to work on a supposedly day off henceforth to be termed ‘day on
reporting’ should be made in the earliest day possible from the day of the
supposedly ‘day on’.
3. Submission of replacement day off should be made no later than a week prior to the
proposed day and should be approved by the related head of department.
Being late for work
The Institute recognizes that hours logged in for work don’t necessarily equate to productivity.
However employees need to adhere to prescribed work rules in order to maintain discipline and
cultivate a sense of fairness. Thus the following prescribed guidelines.
The Institute shall tolerate lateness up to 10 minutes long.
Three (3) days consecutive lateness of more than 10 minutes would result in oral
reprimand
Repetitive lateness of more than 10 minutes long for more than 5 times per month
would result also in oral reprimand.
More lateness within a month period would result in a reprimand letter of first degree
The would be issuance of the 2nd reprimand letter of first degree within 3 month period
justifies the issuance of a reprimand letter of second degree, unless good and valid
reason is provided.
The would be issuance of the 2nd reprimand letter of second degree within 6 month
period justifies the issuance of a reprimand letter of third degree that would serve as a
final warning before termination of employment.
Interim Performance Evaluation
Employee performance evaluations are conducted on bi-annual basis. During the month of evaluation,
every employee will be given a self-assessment form. Heads of departments will be required to fill out
their staff evaluation forms, one for each staff under them. The content of the two forms will be then
reconciled and discussed openly in a performance evaluation meeting between individual staff and
his/her head of department.
Appraisal of each employee’s performance and its discussion should be based on professional
objectivism. Any discrepancies in perception ought to be resolved by clarifying the sources of such
discrepancies. Both written assessments from the employees themselves and the heads of departments
will be paired and filed and kept as part of the archive of the human resource department and treated
as confidential.
Openness should be viewed as critical in such meetings and therefore, no other individual other than
the head of department and the individual employee himself/herself shall be present during the
meeting. Feedback and constructive criticisms from both parties in such meetings are welcome and are
viewed as signs of openness and good will by the human resource department. Lack of feedback
however might indicate either signs of unresolved issues or lack of trust between the employee and
his/her head of department or even complicity should problems are revealed at a later time. Therefore,
the human resource department encourages employees to provide feedback or constructive criticism of
their departments or even of their superiors. Superiors, in turn, may use the chance to reflect and
improve on their management and people skills in the long run. Sustainable growth and high
performance are only possible to be cultivated in a healthy environment in which everyone feels safe to
say their minds for the benefits of the institute as a whole.
The bi-annual performance evaluations will form the basis for promotions and salary
increments/adjustments.
Compensation Management
Compensation Leave
An employee who comes in for work on supposedly day off for longer than 6 hours is eligible for
a compensation leave in exchange for his extra working day. Thus, the institute shall
compensate these extra hours not through paid overtime/hourly basis but by acknowledging
that the employee has the right for a full day compensated leave which counts as paid leave in
exchange for his/her extra hours. Note that compensated leave would only take into account
days in which employees, due to their obligation to the Institute, are made to come for work on
which they were supposed to be off and doesn’t apply to arbitrary personal decision to come to
work on supposedly day off.
Business Trip
1. Expenses for business travels, abroad or local, ought to have been allocated in the
department’s annual budget and the business travels themselves are subject to
approval from the CEO of the Institute.
2. Business travel proposal should be prepared and submitted to the Finance and
Accounting department no later than 7 days prior to the planned departure.
3. The Finance and Accounting Department has the right to reject processing the Business
Travel proposal when:
a. It has not been approved by the CEO of the Institute
b. It is submitted less than 7 days prior to the planned departure (unless the CEO
specifically approves of the late submission)
4. Each business travel ought to produce their corresponding Business Trip Report.
5. Business Trip Report should be submitted to the Finance & Accounting Department for
financial claim processing and to the CEO, President and COO of the Institute for their
reviews.
6. Reimbursement to the financial claims pertaining to any business travel would only be
done upon the approval from the head of the Finance & Accounting Department and
the CEO of the Institute.
*Daily transportation expenses will only cover the following trips: airport to hotel and vice versa as
well as from hotel to business meeting point and vice versa and from one business meeting point to
another business meeting point.
Reimbursement
Reimbursements will only take place when material evidence of expenses pertaining to the
Institute’s business activities is provided. Evidence of expenses should be submitted to the
Finance & Accounting Department for reimbursement processing. In the absence of clear
material evidence, no reimbursement is feasible. In addition, the types of activities that the
expenses belong to should also be clearly conveyed whether in written format or communicated
verbally to the department of Finance & Accounting.
Disciplinary measures
The human resource department recognizes that disciplinary procedure needs to be laid out clearly in a
culture of openness and trust that the department espouses for the benefit of the whole employees and
the institute as a whole.
The human resource department has the following procedure in dealing with breaches of
regulations/code of conduct/discipline that correlates to the severity of the breach(from least severe to
most):
1. Verbal warning
2. Reprimand letter (first to third degree)
3. Immediate termination of employment
The selected course of action in the event of a breach of discipline falls within the discretion of the
human resource department and depends on the severity and repetition level of the breach in question.
Verbal warning
Verbal warning is the least severe disciplinary procedure used to warn of a breach of discipline.
Least severe breach of discipline constitutes breaches of discipline that do not harm the institute
financially, morally, and legally. They may include minor ethical first time breaches such as smoking
indoor for the very first time.
Reprimand letter (first to third degree)
Reprimand letters (first, second, and third degree) are used to formally warn employees of multiple-
time minor ethical breaches of discipline (Institute’s rules) or breaches that harm the institute
financially, morally, or, legally. Depending on its severity, a reprimand letter may constitute first to
third degree level of breach. Third degree reprimand letter serves as the final warning before the
final disciplinary action is to be taken i.e., termination of employment.
Immediate termination of employment
When a severe breach took place, the institute might immediately terminate the employment of the
employee in concern. When a breach of discipline severely harmed the institute either financially,
morally, or, legally, immediate employment termination could be pursued as the final measure of
disciplinary action, in addition to a possible legally binding course of action.
Exit interview
Upon resignation of an indefinite employment employee, an exit interview ought to be conducted
before the termination of employment takes effect. The exit interview should try to glean the
perspective of the resigning employee of his/her impression while working at the Institute and the
specific reasons of his/her resignation ought to be elaborated and recorded. Objective dissenting
views are also ought to be recorded for future review by the Management. The purpose of an exit
interview is to gain pertinent information of the management and people within the Institute as a
whole from the perspective of a once insider, to be used for the betterment of the Institute.
Information disclosed during an exit interview should be treated as strictly confidential to members
of the Institute and outsiders who are not made privy to the information by the Management.
Benefits

Outpatient treatment
For permanent employees, outpatient medical claims will be reimbursed provided that clear
material evidence of the expenses is submitted to the HR department. Note that the Institute
would only cover 80% of the expenses and that the monthly medical reimbursement is capped
