From:
Asa Hutchinson
Administrator
On
March 28, 2002, I announced that Retha M. Fulmore was appointed
to the newly established Ombudsman position to the Deputy Administrator.
I am pleased to provide you with the implementing policy for the
Drug Enforcement Agency's (DEA) Office of the Ombudsman.
The purpose of this program is to provide an informal alternative
dispute resolution to address workplace conflicts for employees,
supervisors, and managers. It is a confidential alternative program
that encourages resolution of issues informally at an early stage.
The Ombudsperson will provide an impartial process to facilitate
fair and equitable resolutions to concerns that arise within DEA.
The Ombudsperson will serve as an advisor and an information and
communications resource to address and review options available
to employees, supervisors, and managers.
This
program is available to all employees, supervisors, and managers
of DEA. Participants in this program is voluntary. The Ombudsperson
will provide a listening ear that can help with many concerns and
dilemmas that confront employees, supervisors, and managers in the
workplace. This program does not replace other avenues for addressing
issues, but does provide a safe place to resolve conflicts early
in the process.
Attached
is the policy statement implementing this program. If you need additional
information, you can contact Ms. Fulmore at 202-307-5519.
