Gifts for anniversaries and personal celebrations

When a colleague celebrates an anniversary, changes job or retires, you can buy a gift or arrange a dinner or reception. Take a look at the table to see what the guidelines are for each anniversary.

Years of employment anniversary

When a staff member celebrates a certain number of years of service at the Radboud University, you can buy a gift for a maximum amount. As a gift, sustainable alternatives to flowers are preferred, such as an adoptable tree through LifeTerra. For other sustainable alternatives, see this list. In addition to this, there is also scope to arrange and pay for a dinner with colleagues or a reception. Here too, maximum amounts apply.
