Good leadership is important, especially in times of (organisational) change. Through training and development programs, supervisors are supported in strengthening their leadership skills and in fostering a safe and inclusive work culture. For new managers, an onboarding program is available to help them make a strong start in their role.

Training courses for a safe and inclusive culture
A pleasant working environment contributes to job satisfaction, collaboration and the quality of our work. That is why Prevent Care Cure offers training courses for staff and supervisors, aimed at reinforcing positive and professional behaviour and preventing undesirable behaviour in the workplace. For supervisors, there is the two-day training course ‘Impactful Leadership: Towards a Safe and Inclusive Culture'.
All supervisors take part in this. They will receive an email invitation to sign up for new groups starting after the summer.
Staff members take part in the one-day training: the Constructive Dialogue training course. In this training, you learn how to engage in open and effective conversations, even when there’s friction. Haven’t signed up yet Register here.
New: Onboarding for new supervisors
Radboud University is delighted to welcome new supervisors to their roles. All essential information for current and new supervisors can be found in the onboarding environment. Four times a year, there is an introductory session entitled 'Your role, your impact'. Here supervisors will meet other new supervisors and, through information, discussion and exercises, gain a deeper understanding of leadership within Radboud University and how to fulfil your own role. Every new supervisor takes part in this. Did you start in your supervisor role in the last six months? Please register for the session on 8 June.
