What are some common problems people present to the ombuds?
Any type of conflict in the workplace that an objective third party could clarify or mediate is appropriate. Employees often come to the Ombuds Office to discuss interpersonal misunderstandings, feelings of abuse of power or disagreements about policy, procedure or career concerns. People often visit the Ombuds Office when they are not sure where to go, or where to seek guidance, or how to address the problem, or what options are available. The Ombuds Office is a good place to discuss a sensitive question or issue.
