Why implement an internal mediation scheme?
Implementing an internal mediation scheme is a proactive step toward fostering a fair, supportive, and transformative workplace. By prioritising informal resolution, organisations can address disputes early, enhancing employee wellbeing and workplace harmony.
A successful mediation scheme requires careful planning, including training accredited mediators and integrating mediation into your organisation’s systems, culture, and processes. Since every organisation is unique, we tailor each scheme to align with your specific needs and goals.
For organisations with existing mediation frameworks, we offer seamless integration of our Resolution Framework™, ensuring that people-centric processes fully reflect your organisational values.
Whether you’re establishing a new scheme or enhancing an existing one, we provide expert guidance every step of the way.
What are the benefits of an internal mediation scheme?
Organisations that work with us to establish an internal mediation scheme are building on their commitment to create an organisation where people are able to work with dignity and respect.
When you place mediation at the forefront of your people policies, you are showing a commitment to a happy, healthy and harmonious culture and a reputation as a place where workplace conflicts are managed positively and resolved constructively.

- Mediation teaches transferrable life skills of compassion, active listening, collaboration and more.
- A study has proven that 80% of disputes have a significant impact on the smooth running of business.
- Mediation sits at roughly 1/3 of the cost of a formal procedure, saving businesses a lot of money.
