What Workplace Mediation will do for You
Mediation is the action of resolving a dispute using a specialist independent third party to facilitate communication even where it is broken; build collaboration even where parties feel unable to work together and enable parties to agree a mutually-acceptable, final, binding settlement or relationship.
- Totally independent
- Resolve most disputes
- Safe – you can still use lawyers or insurers but it is not compulsory and will not disadvantage anyone either way. You choose. Mediation does not affect your rights to go to Tribunal or Court if negotiations are not successful.
- Completely confidential – nothing that is said or done in the Mediation can be used for or against any party elsewhere
- Costs always proportionate and fixed - City professional service at Local Prices
- Less stressful
- Does not tie up so much management time
- Does not damage colleague or employer/employee and personal relationships.
- Fast - You are in charge of your agreement – nothing is imposed
- High success rate – around 85%
- Results that stick – binding, enforceable contractual agreements
Business problems are business problems – not legal problems
