The mediator facilitates the mediation process and may assist communicating by restarting and clarifying each person's concerns and interest. Mediation is voluntary and confidential. Agreements between disputing parties are binding only by choice. The issues negotiated must be within the power of the disputing parties to resolve. In the mediation process, information can be shared and solutions offered.
Mediation can increase or improve communications between parties.
Mediation assists parties in looking at issues and deciding whether either person may expect the other to resolve an issue. Mediation may clarify the issues or source of the conflict, leading to the best way to approach a resolution. Mediation can result in a mutably satisfying resolution. Mediation can improve your employment environment.
