Work │ Life

USI adopts work/life balance reconciliation policies and provides instruments enabling its community members to fully enjoy their roles in society. These polices and instruments include:

• the structural organization of work and study
• the provision of benefits and services for Dual Career Couples, for parents and people involved in daycare activities
• the development of a culture of conciliation

InfoDesk, the platform with practical information for the USI community, contains useful information on:

• Maternity and fatherhood
• Flexible working arrangements
• Dual Career
• Childcare
• Family activities
• Senior Care
• Financial support

Key information on the subject of family and work/study is available also in the following publications produced by the Equal Opportunities Service:

• The family is getting bigger, booklet with indications for the (future) parents
• Family welfare, flyer for presenting the measures

The Equal Opportunities Service, every two years, submits a questionnaire to the academic and services staff to investigate the impact of the implemented measures and to gather suggestions about new services to be activated.
