Mediation

Definition

Mediation consists of negotiation between disputing parties, assisted by a neutral third party and it is defined as: "The intervention into a dispute or negotiation by an acceptable, impartial and neutral third party (with no decision-making power) to assist disputing parties in voluntarily reaching their own mutually acceptable settlement of issues in dispute".

​

Applications

Workplace cases, or relationships where disputing parties have reached an impasse in their negotiations, but are still speaking and willing to have a third party neutral assist them in negotiating.

Workplace Mediation Session

When two parties (e.g. a Manager and Member of Staff, two Managers or two Team Members) have experienced a breakdown in their working relationship, mediation is an extremely useful process to go through to allow the parties to express their feelings about the situation in a safe and confidential environment assisted by the mediator, the aim of which is to achieve a way forward that both parties are comfortable with.

Workplace Mediation is a powerful process, but is certainly preferable to potentially long and costly disciplinary procedures and/or long-term sick absences.

Mediation is the way!
