Highlight: Ombudsman Programs

Ombuds programs are created for companies, universities, and other organizations to provide an independent, neutral, alternate, and confidential channel of communication to help employees, students or others discuss workplace or institutional concerns. The goal of an ombuds program is to provide an informal resource where issues can be discussed off-the-record and without fear of retaliation and where people seek can guidance on how they can resolve disputes or report misconduct.
