Workplace Mediation Training
Our Workplace Mediation Training Programme covers the core skills and attributes required to conduct workplace mediations effectively. ADR Group’s approach to workplace mediation goes beyond the traditional problem-solving, interest-based methods. Interpersonal conflict lies at the heart of workplace disputes and our training incorporates in-depth psychological insight. We present evidence from neuroscience and behavioural change research and help you apply this knowledge enabling you to develop appropriate tools and techniques that guide ethical and effective practice. Successful completion leads to being awarded the ADR Group Certificate of Accreditation as a Workplace Mediator.
Becoming a Mediator
Mediation is a dispute resolution technique which offers an informal, structured process in which an independent third party, a mediator, helps people in a disagreement or dispute to create a way forward. It is future focused moving the emphasis from how things have been towards a healthy working relationship with mutually agreed practical solutions to the issues which have held them back in the past. Mediation can also be used where there is conflict within teams.
Companies are increasingly acknowledging the significance of a professional mediator and the impact mediation can have in the resolution of a workplace dispute. In addition, more and more HR professionals realise the importance of developing an effective dispute resolution skillset to enhance their credentials and ability to deal with disputes within the workplace.
