How does Workplace Mediation Work?
​
The Mediator will speak to each potential participant, individually. They will explore and establish any concerns that they may have along with any potential outcomes they may have identified. These meetings help the Mediator to establish an individuals willingness to engage within the process and whether the difficulties experienced are suitable for Workplace Mediation.
 
If Workplace Mediation is a process all participants wish to engage and the Mediator feels is appropriate to be utilised a joint meeting will be arranged (at the workplace, remotely or at an agreed confidential location)  to enable participants to:

• speak openly
• share what is important to them
• listen to others without judgement
• consider options on how they can move forward
• reality test any outcome established by the participants (not determined by the Mediator)
• determine what if any information about the outcome of the process is shared with employers and HR Managers
