Workplace and Employment Mediation

Mediation is a quick and inclusive means of settling disputes. Whether you are employed, in a volunteer role, part of a charity, an educational institution, or a business, mediation can provide a way forward for addressing challenging issues.  

​

We are all different, and those differences can sometimes make working together challenging. Mediation creates space to explore differences and resolve any disagreements and misunderstandings. The outcome of a mediation can establish a constructive framework for the future.

​

The ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures recommends mediation as an alternative way of managing grievances.

​

Mediation emphasises people and equips individuals with skills to resolve any future problems. 

It is also a valuable tool for resolving disagreements at the board level, as it can resolve disputes between employers and employees and between work colleagues. 

​

The cost of time and money for recruitment and training is a powerful incentive to help people resolve their differences.

Online mediation is cost-effective and easy to organise. There are no travel or room hire costs, and success rates are as high as those of face-to-face mediation. It is an excellent solution for those seeking a quicker and cheaper alternative to court proceedings. 

​

The Pre-Mediation Call checks that everyone is comfortable and familiar with the software and knows what to expect on the day. This also helps to resolve any potential technical issues.

Sometimes the internet can drop a call unexpectedly. Alternative means of making contact are in place just in case this happens.

​Online mediation continues to gain popularity and can be a sensible choice for those under time pressure or those who prefer not to meet their opponents in person.

​

​Online mediation or virtual mediation uses Zoom and the breakout room facilities offered on this conferencing platform.
