Mediation Matters - Employment Mediation Employment Mediation Disputes between employers and employees can be very draining on all involved. If conflict in the workplace is not resolved, it can lead to decreased productivity, lowered morale, absenteeism, and even workplace violence. The traditional way of resolving such disputes has been to resort to time consuming and expensive litigation. Now employers and workers are increasingly turning to mediation as an alternative method of dispute resolution.
Mediation is a voluntary and confidential process where disputing parties meet with a mediator.
The mediator is neither a judge nor a censor but serves as a neutral and involved third party who assists in reaching agreement and resolution. The process is democratic, fair, protective, and healing as well. Through our employment mediation program, Mediation Matters can help you deal with and resolve your workplace issues of discrimination, sexual harassment, wrongful termination, and other employment issues with dignity and respect for all involved. In most cases, the dispute is resolved in a day or less. Most importantly, unlike litigation where judges and juries decide the outcome, the parties determine if the case will be resolved and, if so, what the outcome will be.
