Conflict Resolution Workplace Mediation Blog
Conflict is a natural part of any workplace. When it occurs, it can be disruptive and damaging to productivity, morale, and even the bottom line. But there is a way to resolve conflict without resorting to more formal and costly methods, such as litigation or arbitration.
Workplace mediation is a voluntary process in which a neutral third party, the mediator, helps two or more parties in conflict reach a mutually agreeable solution. The mediator does not take sides or make decisions for the parties, but rather facilitates communication and helps the parties to identify their interests and options.
There are many benefits to using mediation to resolve workplace conflict.
1) First, it is a confidential process, which means that the parties can speak freely without fear of reprisal.
2) Second, mediation is flexible and can be tailored to the specific needs of the parties.
3) Third, mediation is usually less expensive than litigation or arbitration.
4) Finally, mediation can help to preserve relationships between the parties, which is often essential for a productive workplace.
