Why you should Choose Mediation in the Workplace

Mediation is a process that brings people together to resolve their conflicts in a peaceful and proactive way.

But, why should you use mediation when it comes to resolving disputes in the workplace?

Mediation allows employees to feel recognized and understood. Why? Because they are being heard and they have the power to hear other people’s opinion!

Mediation offers employees the opportunity to feel self-empowered. The workplace is a place where people normally feel they are being told what to do; mediation allows you to have your own input into the final decision.

Mediation is about timeliness and speed. Mediation can take place quickly and doesn’t have to be dragged out for many months. When we compare this to a complaint filed to a court, it can take years to resolve!

Mediation is cost effective not only with money, but time as well. Fees are usually a fraction of the price of the cost of normal legal fees.

Mediation is always confidential. By nature and by contract, mediations are always confidential, so there is no need to worry about a public record like you would with a lawsuit.

Mediation can provide a non-public way for disputing parties to discuss the conflict. From there they can communicate in a civilised manner and come to an agreed upon decision – this is vital when it comes to mediation in the workplace.

At Cape Mediators we offer mediation in the workplace around disciplinary issues, performance, workplace behaviour as well as dismissals and retrenchments.
