Read more about workplace conflict.

Our workplace mediators offer a psychological approach to conflict resolution and have a long history in resolving disputes. This has resulted in a great depth of understanding of the causes and effects of conflict in a wide variety of different situations. Their strength lies in rapidly getting to the heart of the problem and working through the deadlock that can prevent agreement from being reached.

Underlying Psychological Approach

Many of our mediators have been trained specifically in the psychological approach to mediation which has immense advantages for many types of dispute. If you would like a mediator with this training please mention this at the time of enquiry.

Our approach:

• Gets beneath the surface
• Explores the underlying problems
• Uncovers the real motivators of the dispute
• Is forward looking
• Generates working solutions
• Promotes continued relationships

We manage the conflict by drawing out the underlying deadlock that prevents the dispute from reaching a conclusion. Intractable disputes usually indicate a high level of underlying emotional content. Unless the mediator handles this effectively a resolution is less likely to emerge or to endure.

Beneath every apparent conflict there are usually some deeper issues that have:
(a) caused the conflict in the first place, and
(b) projected it to the point of deadlock

• For a lasting solution it is important to get to the real issue and not just aim for a negotiated agreement.
• Many mediators are trained in an ‘assisted negotiation’ style. This works well in some situations but not in difficulties where working relationships need to be maintained, and where the high emotional content makes it important to understand the problem more thoroughly.
• The more accurately the mediator understands the problem the quicker the resolution – our approach uncovers the underlying problems to reveal the real issues beneath the surface. With the psychological perspective mediators are trained to understand the core issues quickly and move the parties into a position of collaborative solution finding.
• Our mediators will also manage the delicate balance between effective discussion and realistic acceptance.

 He was able to open the eyes of the parties to the 'human' elements of the matter and take them beyond the basic facts and points of law. As a result a settlement was reached which encompassed a raft of issues, going well beyond the specific litigation in question. The remedies went well outside the scope of any order which could have been reached by a court. A resounding success for the mediation process
