Organizational Ombuds

Organizational Ombuds serve as a confidential, independent, neutral and informal dispute resolution resource for a specific entity. They are accessible to a defined population and can advocate for fairness. These unique characteristics distinguish Organizational Ombuds from Classical Ombuds, mediators, arbitrators, and other alternative dispute resolution professionals. The term "Ombuds" is shorthand for "Ombudsman," "Ombudsperson" and "Ombuds Officer," which also are used widely.

Some other variants include:
Austria -- Ombudsstellen
Croatia -- pravobranitelji
France -- médiateur/defénseur
Germany -- Ombudspersonen
Italy -- difensore
Norway -- ombudet
Poland -- Rzecznik
Portugal -- provedor
Russia -- омбудсмен
Spain -- defensor
Sweden -- studentombud
Switzerland -- ombudsmann
