Who is an Ombuds?
-
An organizational ombuds acts as a non-barrier, first-stop for emlpoyees, executives, managers and others seeking guidance, information and insight from a trusted advisor who is:
- CONFIDENTIAL.
- INDEPENDENT.
- IMPARTIAL.
- INFORMAL.
An organizational ombuds provides confidential, informal, independent and impartial assistance to individuals through dispute resolution and problem-solving methods such as conflict coaching, mediation, and facilitation.
An organizational ombuds listens to concerns and disputes brought forward by “visitors” to the office and may convey trends, systemic problems, and organizational issues to high-level leaders and executives in a confidential manner.
Ombuds do not advocate for individuals, groups or entities, but rather for the principles of fairness and equity. The organizational ombuds does not play a role in formal processes, and does not investigate problems brought to the office’s attention, nor represent any side in a dispute.
