    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is workplace mediation?

    Workplace mediation is a conflict management approach that involves enlisting an impartial third party to assist team members in resolving their disputes, thereby preventing workplace tensions from escalating into more severe issues.

    Does workplace mediation work?

    Yes, it does. We have been providing workplace mediation services for years now and have seen a significant increase in organisations investing in mediation services to resolve workplace disputes. The vast majority of cases lead to a future-focused agreement being written, and the feedback from our clients speaks for itself.

    What happens if an agreement isn't made during a workplace mediation case?

    The vast majority of workplace mediation cases result in a written agreement. However, if an agreement is not reached, a Non-Agreement Form will be provided instead. Even in the absence of an agreement, workplace mediation can still be beneficial by reopening communication channels, which may foster better working relationships in the future.

    Can workplace mediation be done online?

    Yes, successful mediation cases can be delivered online. Feedback has been excellent, and we continue to see great results for the involved participants.

    Is workplace mediation confidential?

    Yes, participants are asked to sign a Confidentiality Agreement on the day of the mediation to ensure that whatever is said does not leave the room. In addition, all notes related to the case are disposed of upon completion.

    Is workplace mediation voluntary?

    Yes, participation in mediation is always voluntary. We strongly advise against coercion or forced participation. We have found that such tactics can impede the effectiveness of the mediation process and reduce the likelihood of reaching a mutually beneficial resolution.
