The Mediation Process
Phase One – Individual Meetings
We meet with each participant separately to understand the conflict from their perspectives and ensure willingness to participate.
Phase Two – Facilitated Discussion
We explore the Issues together to encourage empathy with one another, and improve their understanding of one another’s point of view.
Phase Three – Brainstorming Solutions and Agreement
Shift parties’ attention from the past to the future. Brainstorm solutions and encourage win-win negotiation to make sure that they reach a solution that they’re happy with.
Phase Four – Mediation Conclusion
We give the participants copies of the agreed statement, and clearly explain what will be expected from them once they’re back in the workplace. Together we explore how to overcome obstacles to implementing the agreement, and to explore options for dealing with them.
