  • Reducing formal grievances (64%)
  • Avoiding costs in defending employment claims (52%)

​Resolving differences through facilitation or mediation:

  • provides an opportunity for employees to talk in detail about their experiences and express how they feel
  • allows a fast response to dealing with conflict, so ensuring that parties do not become entrenched
  • is especially valuable when dealing with relationship breakdowns, both between employees and between an employee and their manager
  • provides a confidential method for dealing with conflict
  • removes the damaging impact that formal procedures can have on individuals’ careers
  • allows parties to fully understand the perspective of others
  • allows parties to identify a way forward
  • gives parties a sense of ownership over the outcome of mediation, which enhances the sense of autonomy, trust and responsibility
  • addresses conflict that is underpinned by allegations rather than evidence.
