Mediation

Whenever individuals are placed in a group together, the opportunity exists for conflicts to arise, and the workplace is no exception.

 

Although dispute is sometimes unavoidable and, indeed, necessary, often these develop into conflicts that result in damaging consequences for the business which may include individuals leaving the business, Employment Tribunal claims and disengaged staff – but it doesn’t have to be that way.

 

Dealing with issues early and informally provides the best chance of resolution. 

 

Mediation is a completely voluntary and confidential process that involves an independent, impartial person helping two or more individuals or groups reach a solution that's acceptable to everyone. Mediators do not make judgments or determine outcomes - they ask questions that help to uncover underlying problems, assist the parties to understand the issues and help them to clarify the options for resolving their difference or dispute.

​

Most, but not all, conflicts can be resolved through mediation if handled properly.
