Without doubt the answer is, Yes. The tendency when talking about mediation is to talk about individuals who are in conflict with a business, an agency or another individual. More and more companies are realizing the value of training their senior staff and line managers in mediation techniques.
Good staff are one of a company's strongest assets.
Too often they leave their employment for the wrong reason and, by the time the employer gets to find out why, it is, usually, too late. You can protect against such needless waste. But, consider that mediation can, literally, save countless thousands of dollars in wasted legal fees. For example, with a small amendment to your company practice, you could introduce mediation as the agreed manner to resolve disputes such as sexual harassment, suspected theft, improper behavior, and other breeches of rules. We know of very few people or organizations who actually like to go to court to vent their grievances.
