“TCM has been used several times by DWP over the years, we’ve received very positive feedback from our mediators from every course that’s been run. We have a great relationship, TCM has fantastic offers/networking events and I hope we will continue to see more of this. The training that TCM delivered was extremely effective and engaging. Even those trained by TCM from other government departments have had nothing but good things to say. TCM benefited us by giving us the ability for our organisation to offer an outstanding mediation service which is continuing to grow. If was up to me we’d choose TCM every time, but I understand we have internal processes to follow. I look forward to us working together in future, hopefully not just the training of new mediators, but other events too.”

Ambitious About Autism
Poonam Bhatt HR Advisor at Ambitious About Autism

“TCM is a reputation exceeding other organisations. TCM provided the specialist skills for the Mediation Course ensuring that the small groups allowed the focus to work through the mediation approach and style. The course was extremely effective as the practical element I was able to take away and use the skills when mediating at work.  I was able to share my skills and knowledge with managers within the organisation and use the skills effectively. TCM helped by bringing benefits into our organisation by enhancing the need for mediation before taking the formal route of capability. I will always recommend TCM to others due to the personable training that was delivered and the effective approach.”

Medecins Sans Frontieres
Christine Stanbury HR Manager at Médecins Sans Frontières

I apply the knowledge daily to improve my skills and experience and I will definitely explore attending other training courses with TCM.”

Louise Cameron HR Business Partner at Santander UK

“The TCM Group came on the back of a very strong recommendation by a reputable contact who had already completed the National Certificate in Workplace Mediation course. The course itself was very effective – insightful and practical. The tutor support and feedback were excellent! Training with TCM meant that I was able to develop my skills to resolve complex workplace disputes. The ongoing events/webinars/seminars hosted by the TCM are fantastic and I would definitely recommend them to any of my colleagues/networks/friends.”

David Corbin Equality & Diversity Manager at Dorset Healthcare

“After looking at several companies I attended one of TCM’s taster sessions. Following that I booked to attend the full course. The service overall was outstanding, and the professionalism of the trainers was outstanding. I still use the supporting material today as a guide. Since I became trained my Trust has now invested in three further Workplace Mediators and we have just completed an 18-month report on the cases we have had referred. We also meet monthly for a debriefing session to discuss cases. We are in the process of reviewing our Grievance Policy and Mediation is already listed as an early intervention before moving to a full-blown investigation. To be completely honest I have always found my interactions with TCM very positive. I feel that I can approach the team at any time for advice and linking into the Webinars is always a good reminder of why we take the steps to resolve issues at the lowest possible level.”

Pippa Byrne Former Head of HR at Hugo Boss

“We wanted to review the way that we deal with challenges in the workplace. As a result of the training with TCM, I am now more confident to facilitate win-win outcomes.”
