Employment and Workplace Mediation
Our workplace mediation training and services will bring your organisation in-line with the new Employment Act 2008.
Workplace mediation is a simple yet powerful process designed to help enhance all aspects of the modern working environment by recognising the value of a positive work culture and productive relationships at work and so helping to avoid a dispute.
All organisations, whether in the public or private sector, value productive and positive workforce relationships. However, a dispute between employees or between employees and employers is a reality. Managing these relationships effectively with the support of a workplace mediator can reduce disputes and minimise the risk of defending a tribunal claim and the unnecessary cost of diverted management time.
Workplace mediation is an essential and effective tool in the armoury of any person tasked with managing employee relations. By acting as a third party neutral facilitator, a workplace mediator can listen, ask questions and help explore solutions in a constructive and private process. Workplace mediation not only helps resolve conflict, it helps build bridges to better employee relations. ADR Group can help you achieve improved levels of staff productivity and retention.
Workplace mediation is now officially recognised and encouraged by BERR (formerly the DTI) and ACAS. The new Employment Act 2008 became effective on 6th April 2009. A new ACAS Code of Practice Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures replaces the three step grievance and disciplinary system of written statement, meeting and appeal. New provisions include a revised definition of what is fair and reasonable when tacking problems at work. Employers and employees are advised to keep an open mind and consider workplace mediation.
We provide a nation-wide panel of specialist workplace mediators who are available to assist you with a current workplace dispute or to help prevent one.
