Workplace Mediation Services

Are you feeling caught in the middle of your employees’ differences?

Are employees complaining about disparate treatment, unfair practices, and not getting their needs met…all while the work isn’t getting done?

Feeling a lack of support from your leadership and not sure where to turn?

It's time to re-imagine how you’re managing your people!

Trust the process!

Mediation is a structured, interactive process where an impartial third party assists parties in resolving relationship conflicts through the use of specialized communication and negotiation techniques.

The goal is to repair, restore and improve damaged relations, particularly when ongoing partnerships are essential.

And, mediation is successful 80-90% of the time, regardless of the issues or settings involved.   Here’s why… 

  • It is a confidential dispute resolution (DR) process. 
  • Facilitated by a neutral | impartial facilitator with no vested interest in the outcome except for resolution. 
  • It is a process designed to guide people to self-determination on outcomes without coercion from the mediator or by any participant in the mediation.
