Why should you use Workplace Mediation?

There are many advantages of workplace mediation, one of them being that the issue is solved informally, in a civilised manner with both parties being heard equally by the mediator.

As both parties sit down and work together to find a fair solution, the end result is in the hands of the participants. Both parties are committed to the same thing – agreeing on an effective, long-lasting solution.

When it comes to workplace mediation, these are some of the situations that may arise:

-- There are clashes between people who have problems working together and simply do not get along.

-- A once happy working relationship has fallen apart.

-- Employees have become bitter and there are grievances because of a disciplinary procedure.

-- Someone in the workplace has been accused of sexual harassment.

Workplace mediation follows the following principles…

      ·         It is a fair, voluntary process where both parties must agree to be a part of the mediation.

      ·         Anyone who wants to withdraw from the mediation can do so at any time.

      ·         The mediation is confidential unless the parties agree otherwise.

      ·         It is a fast process that can begin whenever all parties are ready.

      ·         The mediator is always neutral.

The main purpose of mediation is to let each person involved with the dispute the opportunity to be heard and work together to find a solution.
