Before Visiting the Ombuds

Initial intake meetings are typically scheduled for 60 minutes. The Ombuds will briefly orient you to the established process and will actively listen to your workplace concern(s).

The Ombuds team will:

• Provide a comfortable, confidential environment to air workplace problems, concerns or complaints
• Develop an accurate understanding of the problem, concern or complaint
• Explore options for resolution and next steps
• Assist in the review of questions you have regarding a Regulation, Policy or procedure

You do not need to bring anything, but if you have documents (email exchanges, letters of discipline, performance evaluations, etc.) you are welcome to bring them to facilitate your meeting. However, the Ombuds Office is informal and does not maintain such records.
 

Before visiting the Ombuds Office take our Anonymous Workplace Self-Assessment (only collects aggregated data) AND BRING IT WITH YOU WHEN YOU MEET WITH US: 

• Gauge the depth of your workplace conflict
• Better understand your unique workplace conflict
