Staff mediation: the best and by far the most cost-effective way to resolve staff disputes

Conflict in the workplace can be very disruptive: not only to the individuals or teams in dispute but also to many others around them. It is invariably costly in terms of lost time and, in more serious cases, staff turnover and court action.

Mediation is a voluntary process. It supports people in resolving a disagreement or conflict by encouraging and facilitating constructive discussion. It can lessen the impact of arguments at an early stage as well as addressing more advanced disputes, leading to a reduction in the number and severity of legal claims.

“We have used Forward’s mediation services twice now and each time they’ve turned around what was an ugly, disruptive situation. It’s a little like marriage guidance in the workplace – neither side really wants to be at loggerheads but it takes a professional, independent third party to get them talking rationally. It’s saved us thousands and made our working lives so much more pleasant.”
