What is workplace mediation​

​

Workplace mediation is a structured, voluntary process where an independent mediator helps employees and employers resolve conflicts constructively. Unlike formal grievance or tribunal procedures, mediation focuses on mutual understanding and long-term solutions rather than blame and punishment.

 

​

Why choose mediation over tribunal​

​

• Cost-Effective – Tribunal cases can be extremely expensive for businesses, whereas mediation is a lower-cost alternative.

• Faster Resolution – Mediation can settle disputes within days or weeks, whereas tribunals can take months or years.

• Confidential & Non-Adversarial – Unlike public tribunal hearings, mediation is private, fostering open and honest discussions.

• Preserves Workplace Relationships – Mediation encourages dialogue and compromise, helping employees and employers maintain a professional working relationship.

• Flexible & Custom Solutions – Outcomes are tailored to the needs of both parties, rather than rigid legal rulings.
