Select Mediation

General information

Mediation is optional – any party can withdraw from the process at any time. The goal of workplace mediation is for the people involved in a disagreement or dispute to negotiate their own mutually agreed solutions to the issues between them.
Select Mediation provides an independent mediator to work with the individuals in dispute. The mediator does not express views about how to handle a specific conflict nor make recommendations or advise on a course of action. The mediator helps the parties find an agreement between them.
Conflict exists in all organisations. Most of the time, conflict is managed through negotiation. When communication and negotiation become difficult or break down altogether, disputes arise and relationships are damaged. Involving an independent, impartial third party helps people to negotiate with each other and find a way forward, by using professional independent conflict resolution techniques.
The content of any workplace mediation meeting is confidential. The mediator will not pass on anything said during the mediation process without the permission of the parties involved – unless not to do so would involve the mediator in breaking the law.
