Workplace Mediation
Mediation is a way to resolve conflict between individuals and groups in the workplace. It provides a safe, structured and informal way of talking through difficulties and problems at work, with the help of an impartial third party. The people directly involved, not the mediator, make their own decisions, so it can be a positive and empowering process.
Most kinds of disputes can be mediated, as long as those involved want to find a way forward and for things to be different.
Mediation is most effective the earlier it is used, however, there may also be situations in which formal complaints are underway or have already taken place, where mediation can be invaluable as a way to repair working relationships.
Because mediation is not seeking a culprit it can help rebuild relationships and restore broken communication and trust.
It is an ideal mechanism for working through difficulties arising because of personality clashes, breakdown in communication, disagreements over work style or behaviour. It is fast, private, and very effective.
Mediation can:
• Reduce levels of stress around a difficult relationship;
• Improve communication and working relationships;
• Ease transition back to work after a formal process, or a long-term sickness absence;
• Provide a solution which works for everyone and which is flexible and enduring and meets the needs of all involved; and
• Be used before, after or as an alternative to a formal process.
