For lecturers and students at the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP) UNNES, this woman with glasses is a familiar figure. She is Farida Rahmawati, a staff member of the FISIP Finance Department who has often been at the forefront of managing the financial administration of various academic activities, both on and off campus.
Farida, who is also known as an active figure on social media with more than 28 thousand followers on Instagram, will officially transfer to the UNNES Institute for Education and Professional Development (LPPP). She has served at FISIP since 2020.
Farida expressed her gratitude for being able to support the activities of students and lecturers during her approximately six years of service at FISIP. “Here, it feels like having family, having good friends,” she said, holding back tears during a simple farewell ceremony in the lobby of Building C8 FISIP UNNES, Sekaran, Gunungpati, Semarang, on Friday (9/1).
The Vice Dean III of FISIP UNNES, Prof. Heri Tjahjono, expressed his appreciation for Farida’s dedication during her tenure. He thanked her for her hard work and contribution in supporting the faculty’s operations.
“Thank you for your dedication and hard work during your service at FISIP UNNES. Your contributions have greatly benefited the institution, especially in ensuring the smooth running of academic activities,” he said.
Prof. Heri also hopes that Farida can perform her new duties at LPPP optimally. Even though she has moved to a different work unit, communication and cooperation can still be maintained because she is still within the same institution at UNNES.
Meanwhile, another faculty representative, Rina Sari, added that employee rotation or rolling is part of the human resource management strategy. According to her, rotation should ideally be carried out every three years as a form of refreshment, capacity building, and performance optimization.
Farida Rahmawati’s transfer is in line with UNNES’ commitment to supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in inclusive, adaptive, and sustainable human resource management. Through competency development, job rotation, and increased employee professionalism, the institution is expected to be able to create a healthy work environment while improving the quality of higher education services.
In addition, the trust and opportunities given to female educators in career development also reflect support for SDG 5, namely Gender Equality, by ensuring full participation and equal opportunities for women in the world of work and leadership in educational institutions.
