Workplace Mediation – Everyone Wins

In today’s environment, a single employment dispute can result in a substantial loss for your organisation.

Unmanaged conflict is the largest reducible cost in organisations today, and the least recognized.

Dan Dana (1988 – 2007)

Being faced with an employment dispute warrants a strategy that eliminates the possibility of disruption, distraction and financial and emotional cost. Workplace mediation is such a strategy.

Legal fees and workplace disruption are very costly, and the task of handling the dispute can distract and unnerve an otherwise strong and efficient management team.

The AMA’s certified mediators are highly skilled in workplace conflict. We provide a decision-making resource for executives, HR managers, and others responsible for organisational effectiveness.

An established conflict resolution program reduces workplace conflict by providing support for early and collaborative resolution of disputes.

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) allows conflict that has the potential to adversely affect productivity, working relationships and morale to be resolved quickly and efficiently.
