This one-day course serves as a great introduction to using mediation for workplace disputes. Delivered on-site or online, it gives delegates a clear understanding of what mediation is, how it is used, and what it can and can't do. The programme is suitable for all levels within an organisation and perfect for those who have no previous experience with conflict resolution.
Understanding Mediation is particularly well-suited to the needs of organisations who are interested in using mediation to resolve workplace conflict: either setting up an in-house service themselves, incorporating mediation into their processes, or enlisting the help of an external mediation service.
