Professional Mediation

Mediation in the workplace

 

Qualified, accredited and experienced Mediators conduct voluntary and confidential mediations within a variety of workplaces. Our processes are tailored to the needs of the circumstance and your business. We react quickly and in a cost effective way. Our objective is to assist find a solution to the issue and to leave the organisation in a state of greater resilience to be able to deal with future conflict as it arises.

 

Our work in mediation involves facilitating discussions between two or more parties who have a disagreement; usually involving a workplace-related issue. Or it can be about other issues like a dispute over wills and estates. The aim of the process is to arrive at a result which is acceptable to all parties and to avoid the time and expense associated with going to court.

 

This process is complex and requires a skilled and experienced practitioner with national accreditation. Some of the issues we have mediated previously are common such as:

• Difficulties with a return to work circumstance

• Bullying and harassment

• Interpersonal conflicts

• Leadership or cultural problems

• Disputes with contracts either internal or external.
