A safe work environment
Anyone might experience undesirable behaviour, such as bullying, aggression or abuse of power. Discussing the problem with the person in question or with your supervisor can be difficult and may even be impossible in some situations. Instead, you can report the behaviour and discuss your approach with a confidential advisor. The Radboud University works with one team within which all confidential advisors are represented. You can contact the confidential advisors by e-mail at: vertrouwenspersonen [at] ru.nl (vertrouwenspersonen[at]ru[dot]nl).
- Undesirable behaviour: Radboud confidential advisors
- In addition to the formal contacts mentioned above, the door of our managing director (Nina Vermeulen), PhD council, Postdoc council and our personnel advisor (Mirjam van Hout) is always open for you!
- Are you experiencing trouble at work, stress, mental or physical health issues, or something else? This website covers different resources that you could reach out to.
