Conflict
Resolution and Mediation
How Does Conflict Resolution Work? -
Mediate! Fair, Efficient & Everyone
Wins
Managing disputes affects a Company’s bottom line. All it takes
is one long protracted lawsuit – win or lose – to illustrate the
need for more efficient ways to result conflict. In response,
particularly in the human resource arena, more and more businesses
are turning to negotiation, mediation and alternative
dispute resolution methods whenever possible.
No matter what the dispute - employee grievances, commercial or
business contract conflicts, franchiser-franchisee disagreements,
investor complaints against a broker – mediation is typically
much faster, less expensive and far less stressful than either
arbitration or litigation.
During Conflict Resolution both sides are allowed to exchange
information and express expectations for reaching resolution. The
Parties will work to reach common ground and the settlement
agreement, if reached, will be a binding contract. Even with the
best intentions, employers make mistakes, often costly ones
If the mediation process does not result in a negotiated
settlement, the parties have agreed that no information provided
during mediation will be disclosed in future proceedings. Any notes taken
will be gathered by the mediator and destroyed. The strict confidentiality
of the process will be maintained.
