Science for all: The power of Radboud Recharge
A recent survey in the Employee Panel shows that Radboud Recharge is already a familiar name to 66% of staff. Support staff within faculties lead the way, with 70% familiarity, while Radboud Services employees score slightly lower (62%). Among the older generation of employees (56-67 years old), familiarity is as high as 70%. However, there is still a large group that does not know the platform, or does not know what it entails, so there is still a world to be won within the various target groups.
A treasure of inspiration
More than 83% of employees have already visited Radboud Recharge, often to read inspiring articles. Younger employees aged between 25 and 40 are particularly active, with 91% of this group regularly consulting the website. Despite these figures, only 35% of employees indicate that the platform strongly connects them with the university. This shows that there are more opportunities to increase Radboud Recharge's impact.
Employees have offered valuable suggestions for improvement:
- More personal stories and interviews: 33% want to hear more about the people behind the science.
