Support for Respectful Workplace, Ombuds or Safe Disclosure Office

Why should you create an external, independent Respectful Workplace, Ombuds Office or Safe Disclosure Office in your organization?

An independent Workplace Fairness Office can offer respectful workplace and conflict resolution services in an accessible way for your staff, regardless of the size of your organization.

This Office can provide an independent, neutral, informal, and confidential environment for your employees to discuss respectful workplace concerns and resolve issues.  From mediating disputes to planning and practicing for a difficult conversation, staff advocate for fairness by listening and supporting employees with problematic issues at all levels of your organization with complete confidentiality. We assist individuals by working with them to understand and consider their options, answer questions, facilitate communication, and provide information and referral, while ensuring it is clear that we have no decision-making authority on behalf of the organization.

Workplace Fairness Office Staff offer an opportunity for your employees to discuss workplace concerns and resolve issues. Whether mediating disputes or helping you to plan and practice for a difficult conversation, Workplace Fairness Office Staff are there to advocate for fairness while listening to and supporting managers and employees from all levels of your organization who are dealing with problematic issues.
