Contract Ombuds
What is an Ombudsman?
An Ombudsman (or Ombudsperson) is a neutral, confidential, and impartial resource dedicated to conflict resolution within an organization. If your small business or organization needs an ombudsman for a specific event or ongoing support, please request a consultation.
Benefits of an Organizational Ombuds
An Ombudsman can "humanize" an organization by providing safe spaces for individuals to voice concerns and facilitating communication between conflicting parties. They can also help reduce costs related to conflict by addressing issues informally and keeping management informed about trends that may impact the organization.
An Ombudsman provides informal assistance without conducting formal investigations or taking sides.
