Workplace mediation is a confidential and efficient way of resolving conflict in the workplace environment. This type of mediation is done on a voluntary basis by those involved who must sign an agreement to mediate before the process can begin. The Mediator will facilitate this meeting of the parties involved at a neutral venue away from the work place and colleagues. Mediation is very important in the work place before matters end up before Employment tribunals or the courts, which of course incur far greater cost, but more importantly than the cost factor is the fact these people have to work together in the future and with mediation there is a chance that a working relationship can be re-established and maintained. This will benefit of all involved including the work colleagues who may also be affected by the difficulties arising between co-workers. By choosing to utilise a workplace mediator you are dealing with matters in a timelier fashion than waiting on a date for a tribunal of court. This benefits everyone involved from the employer but mainly employee productivity.
