Benefits & Testimonials

What are the benefits of Mediation?

FINANCIAL - Mediation can save businesses and organisations thousands of pounds by settling disputes before they reach the stage of litigation or employment tribunals.


TIME - Mediation can be arranged and carried out in a very short space of time- often within a couple of weeks. It does not use up disproportionate amounts of management time, and avoids potentially demotivating lengthy periods waiting for an outcome while matters escalate out of all proportion.


ORGANISATIONAL - Because mediation uses a co-operative approach rather than an adversarial one it can help to improve the ethos within organisations, leading to a happier, more motivated workforce. It can also save organisations from having to go to court with the resultant risk of bad publicity and a tarnished reputation.


STAFF - A more positive working environment can result in less time lost through sick leave, and lower staff turnover, thus keeping good people with their experience and expertise within an organisation and ultimately saving on recruitment and training and induction costs. 


PERSONAL - For those who go through the mediation process it is a learning experience, which helps to build skills to resolve any future disputes far more
effectively.
