WHY USE A PROFESSIONAL MEDIATOR?

The mediator is a disinterested, neutral third-party with no stake in the outcome. For this reason internal disputes are more readily resolved as employees do not feel as if they ‘dealing with’ HR and can share confidentially with the mediator. Constructive problem-solving is encouraged because the mediators do not have to protect a position.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE OR COST?

The amount of time will vary depending on the complexity of the issues and everyone’s cooperation. Ranging from hours to days to reach an agreement, the cost is almost certain to be less than litigation. The cost of litigation keeps rising and the time to settle disputes in an adversarial manner is long. Mediation gives you the opportunity to avoid that cost and delay.

I’LL WIN IN COURT SO WHY BOTHER WITH MEDIATION?

Because litigation is adversarial, it can involve surprises, uncertainty, as well as significant stress. Someone always loses in court - - you can avoid that risk, and expense, and manage the time you want to achieve a result that is more acceptable to you. You are in control when you mediate, not the judge, and that can produce a result that is predictable and much more acceptable to you.
