What is Employment Mediation?
| Employment mediation involves the use of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) techniques to solve workplace problems and prevent formal and expensive litigation. The process uses a neutral third party to help disputants find mutually acceptable solutions to problems arising in the workplace.
ADR is widely used today for workplace disputes. Mediators can be highly effective in resolving such issues and has become the preferred choice of employees and employers alike in working toward settlement of workplace disputes and disagreements.
