Working at Radboud university medical center

Personal development for employees

We want to create an environment where employees work energetically and enthusiastically, and where they feel fully challenged. This is based on the assumption that employees see their personal development as their own responsibility and act accordingly, supported by their supervisor.

Various tools

Employees are in charge of their own personal development and are given the necessary space and responsibility. Various tools facilitate this:

• Personal budget which employees are free to spend at their own discretion
• Annual review cycle, in which development is a recurring topic
• Our talent management program that offers talented researchers extra opportunities
• The Radboudumc Health Academy offers a wide range of training for different target groups: from paramedics to nurses and from doctors to researchers. Several courses are also taught in English
• We stimulate student and staff mobility and our International Office can help in this

For example, you can exchange your end-of-year bonus, vacation allowance, or a portion of your salary for the purchase of a bicycle, or a reimbursement of the contribution to a trade union or professional association.

  Reimbursement of commuting costs

  Employees may choose to trade their gross vacation allowance, or a portion thereof, for a net reimbursement of commuting costs, resulting in a tax advantage. Employees only need to request the exchange once (preferably at the beginning of employment), as it will continue to be in effect for future years. Additionally, if you used public transport for at least 70% of your travel days during a period of at least two months, you are entitled to a public transport premium. The gross public transport premium equals 20% of the free reimbursement of commuting costs as calculated in the Employment Conditions Selection Model.
