THE BENEFITS OF MEDIATION

We’ve always known that mediation works. We've consistently seen over a 91% success rate in cases that we've mediated, over 20 years - higher than the national average of 80%. Mediation provides a platform to transform workplace disputes into opportunities for healthy dialogue. Conflict in the workplace is inevitable but the impact it has on your organisation, team and people is in your hands. Choose resolution.

Experience the positive impact of mediation

Mediation is often described as a process whereby a neutral third party intervenes in a workplace conflict or dispute to assist the parties in reaching a satisfactory outcome. It is a structured process which enables parties to identify, consider and discuss their own and each other’s current and future needs.

And what are the benefits?

  • Our mediators encourage and facilitate open and honest communication which often leads to increased awareness, understanding and empathy between parties.
  • It places responsibility for the resolution directly with the parties.
  • It creates a safe place for all sides to have their say and be heard, with uninterrupted speaking time.
  • Disputes are halted before they escalate out of control.
  • Mediation reduces the stress and anxiety associated with conflict.
  • It reduces the risk of litigation and costs of conflict.
  • Mediation helps to cultivate a happier, healthier and more harmonious working environment.

Health and wellbeing
An estimated 874,000 employees take sickness absence annually due to conflict, costing around £2.2 billion. Mediation can alleviate stress and reduce absenteeism by resolving disputes amicably.
Employee retention
Nearly half a million employees resign each year due to workplace conflict, costing employers approximately £2.6 billion annually. Mediation can help retain talent by addressing disputes before they lead to resignations.
Cost savings
Unresolved workplace conflicts cost UK employers around £30 billion annually. Implementing mediation can reduce expenses related to employee turnover, absenteeism, and decreased productivity.

Putting people first is at the core of everything we do. Remember it’s people you are dealing with, not statistics. Treat them as humans – with kindness, compassion and integrity – and watch fear subside in the face of wellbeing, productivity and success.
