Course Description

Revitalize your leadership approach with mediationthe strategic, cost-effective solution to workplace conflicts!

Are you ready to transform confrontational encounters into collaborative solutions? Discover how mediation not only resolves disputes but fosters a win/win scenario for all involved.

Why Mediation?

    • Avoid the drawbacks of traditional conflict resolution: Alternative methods like authority-driven decisions or disciplinary actions often result in win/lose outcomes. Do you want to continue operating with unresolved tensions?
    • Create lasting solutions: Mediation ensures that disputants themselves sculpt the future behaviors necessary to overcome conflicts. Unlike other methods, mediation leaves no “losers” behind.

When to Choose a Mediator:

    • Struggling with communication breakdowns? A mediator facilitates when direct dialogue stalls.
    • Is the “just work it out” approach not working? Often, the parties involved remain stuck because they fear confrontation, worry about retaliation, or feel too overwhelmed by the complexity of issues.

The Cost of Inaction:

    • Ignoring problems like workplace bullying, grievances, and other complaints can spiral into costly outcomes. Did you know unresolved conflicts can lead to lost talent, legal battles, and even workplace violence?
    • Early intervention is key: Addressing these issues at the onset with expert mediation minimizes risks and enhances workplace harmony.

Workplace conflicts that can be effectively addressed through mediation include:

    • Conflicts Among and Between Employees
    • Disputes with Supervisors or Management
    • ADA Accommodation Issues
    • Employee Grievances
    • Termination
    • Workplace Bullying
    • Sexual Harassment Complaints
    • Hostile Workplace Issues
    • Discrimination Complaints
    • Labor Relations Issues

Are you prepared to lead your team through conflict with courage and strategic insight?
