Workplace Mediation

Employment and workplace disputes require intensive management resources and an employment tribunal is an expensive and stressful option for both employee and employer, whatever the outcome. They can also be the cause of significant damage to reputation and to relationships with customers and suppliers and invariably affect productivity and progress.

Be aware that for each grievance that you deal with costs approximately £20,000 worth of internal costs. Prevent 5 a year, and you’ve saved £100,000.

Many of our Workplace Mediators have long experience in employment related disputes and can offer a personalised mediation process to deal with even the most sensitive issues, for example in disputes involving stress, sickness and disability. Typically the areas include any mix of:

• Unfair dismissal
• Constructive dismissal
• Part-time working, flexible working, maternity/paternity rights and parental leave
• Redundancy, compromise agreements, restrictive covenants
• Sexual harassment, victimisation, discrimination and bullying in the workplace
• Whistle blowing
• Multiple claims
• Senior executive and board level disputes
• Remuneration and performance related pay and bonuses
