The Office of the Ombudsperson (OOM) serves as an independent function to address
employment related problems of staff members. It operates in accordance with the standards of
practice and code of ethics of the International Ombudsman Association: “independence,
neutrality, and impartiality, confidentiality and informality.” The role of the Ombudsperson is to
mediate in conflicts of any nature related to conditions of employment, administration of
benefits, managerial practices as well as professional and staff relations matters. As a dispute
resolution practitioner, the Ombudsperson provides assistance in the informal resolution of
conflicts and other issues and monitors trends and emerging issues. The Ombudsperson office
acts as an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) resource for staff members who may also wish
assistance with respectful workplace environment issues. The purpose of the Ombudsperson
function is to be a mechanism that helps IOM staff to be treated fairly, advocating civility and
mutual respect as the most appropriate avenue to successful problem-solving preventing
conflict from escalating and improving staff productivity and morale.
