An organizational ombuds serves as an independent, impartial, informal, and confidential resource for members of an organization to help them surface and resolve concerns while providing upward anonymous feedback to leadership.
Ombuds use a variety of skills including confidential listening, interest exploration, brainstorming, and other skills familiar to mediators. Despite drawing from a similar toolbox, how are the roles of the ombuds and mediator different and complimentary?
Join Chuck Doran, mediator and outsourced organizational ombuds (bio available here), to discuss the ombuds function and what a mediator might want to know about exploring this unique role.
Viewers are encouraged to read the following article: https://www.mwi.org/mediator-as-ombuds and this article from the Journal of the International Ombuds Association – https://ioa.memberclicks.net/assets/d…
