As part of the strengthening of its governance, integrity, and reporting system, the institution is strengthening its structure. Within a small team with which you work in a collegiate manner, your mission is to implement and carry out the personality protection system within HUG, in application of the specific regulations.
You ensure the processing of declarations of attacks on personality, in particular in matters of discrimination, psychological harassment, and sexual harassment.
You ensure, under the seal of total confidentiality, listening, orientation, and, if necessary, objectification interviews for the attention of employees who consider themselves victims of an attack on personality rights. If necessary, you carry out a mediation process or issue individual or collective recommendations. You sometimes solicit the intervention of external investigators. Your actions are carried out with the explicit consent of the declarants. You ensure traceability through the maintenance of documentation and follow-up of decisions and recommendations.
For the purpose of resolving situations, you may be led to interact with hierarchical managers, the occupational health service, the diversity equity and inclusion system, the Human Resources Department, the Legal, Integrity, and Compliance Department (DJIC), security, or, if necessary, the commission for processing complaints regarding attacks on personality, discrimination, and harassment. You ensure this coordination while respecting the roles and responsibilities of each.
Under the whistleblower protection regulations, a whistleblower may also request your intervention.
You also contribute to the analysis of data related to attacks on personality, violence, property damage, and institutional functioning, and formulate recommendations.
In the exercise of your functions, you are hierarchically attached to the President of the Board of Directors and act independently, impartially, and autonomously, in strict respect of the legal, regulatory, and institutional framework. You ensure that no intervention can influence the processing of situations, the conduct of investigations, or the conclusions drawn.
You have a Master's degree in law or human sciences or any other equivalent training, completed by specialized training in mediation and/or conflict management, or investigation.
You have good knowledge of Geneva's cantonal administrative and disciplinary law. You have 10 years of professional experience in the fields of administrative investigations, ethics, and compliance, integrity systems, reporting management, or institutional governance.
A person of integrity and responsibility, you have excellent listening and empathy skills, as well as a sense of negotiation and discretion. You are comfortable with oral communication and writing reports in complete impartiality and independence, for which you use your very good analytical and synthesis skills. Flexible and available, you have good resistance to tension.
To avoid any conflict of interest, the selected person will not be able to hold another position within the public medical institutions.
You also recognize yourself in the values upheld by HUG, which you embody in your daily actions and interactions within your team.
