==Welcome to the dedicated GCWiki page for the Federal Public Service Organizational Ombuds Community!==
|}
+
Explore the essential role of an Ombuds in the public service, learn about our guiding principles, activities, and find key contacts. Whether you're an Ombuds, a stakeholder, a government department member, or simply seeking information, this page is your go-to resource.     
<br>'''Organizational Ombuds Council:'''
 
  
•Currently 24 ombuds representing 44 departments and agencies.
+
===What is an organizational ombuds?===
 +
According to the [https://www.ombudsassociation.org/what-is-an-ombuds- International Ombuds Association] organizational ombuds work with individuals and groups in an organization to
  
•Various mandates and models across departments.
+
#provide a safe space to talk about an issue or concern,
 +
#explore options to help resolve conflicts, and,
 +
#bring systemic concerns to the attention of the organization for resolution.
  
•Guided by common Standards of Practice aligned with the International Ombuds Association.
+
An organizational ombuds operates in a manner to preserve the confidentiality of those seeking services, maintains a neutral/impartial position with respect to the concerns raised, works at an informal level of the organizational system (compared to more formal channels that are available), and is independent of formal organizational structures.
  
 +
===A diversified service offering===
 +
The organizational ombuds community currently consists of 27 ombuds in 50 agencies or departments and continues to grow.
  
'''Role of the Ombuds:'''
+
Although the ombuds role remains the same, the composition of their office, the population served, their geographical locations, their groups and levels, as well as the diversity of complementary services offered, vary greatly depending on the department or agency.
  
•Provide a confidential, impartial and independent space for employees to discuss issues and explore options for resolution.
+
The following programs may be offered in your ombuds office.
 
 
•Serve as an upward feedback channel to senior management.
 
 
 
•Raise awareness to prevent and address workplace issues that can affect health, safety, fairness and inclusion in the workplace.
 
 
 
•Share insight and make recommendations in support of a safe, healthy and inclusive organizational culture.

'''IMPARTIALITY'''
 
 
 
Ombuds listen to and consider the concerns and interests of all parties objectively.
 
 
 
They do not defend the interests of any particular individual in the organization.
 
 
 
'''INDEPENDENCE'''
 
 
 
Ombud usually report to the highest level in the organization and have direct access to other senior managers in the organization.
 
 
 
Ombuds exercise sole discretion over whether or how to act regarding an individual’s concern, a trend or systemic issue.
 
 
 
'''INFORMALITY'''
 
 
 
Ombuds do not participate in investigations or formal processes.
 
 
 
Calling upon the Ombuds is voluntary and is not a required step in a recourse.
