Ombuds is a rapidly growing area of dispute resolution in which an authorized organizational representative is able to confidentially assist in the resolution of individual and organizational issues.
Organizational Ombuds serve as a confidential, independent, neutral and informal dispute resolution resource for a specific entity. Ombuds are accessible to a defined population and advocate for fairness. These unique characteristics distinguish Organizational Ombuds from mediators, arbitrators, and other alternative dispute resolution professionals. The term "Ombuds" is shorthand for "Ombudsman," "Ombudsperson" and "Ombuds Officer," which are also used widely.
