Workplace & Employment Mediation

Workplace Mediation

Workplace mediation is series of confidential, facilitated discussions in which work colleagues, who are experiencing difficulties, can find ways of resolving their dispute.  

The facilitated discussions focus on helpling the participants to find practical and long-term solutions to their difficulties.  My aim as a mediator is to support the participants as they work to understand the cause of the dispute and then put their own structure in place to help them move forward in a more collaborative manner.

I mediate all types of workplace dispute with both individuals and with wider teams.  I have clients in both the private and public sectors, and I cover all types of workplace dispute:

• Allegations of bullying and harassment
• Personality clashes
• Return to work after long-term sickness (often caused by work-related stress)
• Communication breakdowns
• Discrimination issues
• Dysfunctional teams

Employment Mediation

Employment mediation generally takes place when the employment relationship has ended and a dispute exists between the employee and the employer.  This will often be in the form of a claim or potential claim in the employment tribunal or, in some cases, in court.  Employment mediations usually take place over the course of one day.  

I mediate all types of employment and discrimination dispute, including:

• Breach of contract claims
• Compromise agreement disputes
• Data protection
• Discrimination / harassment
• Redundancy payments
• References
• Restrictive covenants and confidentiality
• Shareholder disputes
• TUPE 
• Unfair dismissal
