Our Services

Workplace Mediation

We understand that unresolved conflict costs more than just money. Our team of expert and highly experienced mediators work with all parties involved in the conflict, by facilitating communication on the needs-based level.

Team Mediation

When conflict arises in the workplace, it rarely impacts only two individuals. Very often, the dispute will spread, having an impact on a wider group, the whole department, and perhaps beyond.

In-House Mediation Schemes

Developing your internal mediation service will provide you with a team of fully trained and accredited mediators, who understand what it is like to work for your company.

Specialist Services

A family run business can be badly impacted by disputes and conflicts. Similarly, the third sector plays an important role in all of our lives but when conflict strikes, it can have a devastating effect. That's why we offer specialist services, delivered under our sister brand The Mediation Company.

An approach that works 93% of the time

Every year, workplace conflict costs UK businesses over £28 billion. Too often, organisations choose formal litigation as a first resort. We’re proud to hold a 93% success rate in resolving disputes since we started mediating in 2001. Traditional grievance procedures encourage and facilitate bad behaviour, failing to address root issues, and leaving disaster in their wake.

But conflict doesn’t have to be like this. It can be a creative and constructive conversation if we just know how. That’s where mediation comes in: a restorative one-day process, but also a mindset, a framework, and a set of skills. It requires involved parties to come to a mutual agreement, observed and guided by an objective and confidential mediator.
