In the workplace, whenever there is a dispute a grievance or a matter is handed over for investigation and/ or arbitration.
At its best there is going to be a winner and a loser. One party wins- One party loses
Mediation looks for the Win-Win.
Mediation helps the parties to communicate together in a safe, confidential non judgement environment to work together to find a solution, that enables both parties to feel respected and listened to. It is an alternative to the more formal Conflict resolution solutions, and allows confidential, non-judgemental communication to take place that leaves the disputes in control of the outcome.
