Mediation Effectiveness

Mediation is not the only way in which conflicts and disputes can be resolved, but it is the most effective. It is usually cheaper and quicker than litigation, and more efficient than diverting internal resources.

As mediation produces rapid results, it can also be used in the earliest stages of a dispute preventing it from escalating and preserving workplace relationships.

Mediation arrives at a mutually-agreed solution, it results in greater satisfaction and less likelihood of problems recurring. Parties are more likely to comply with a mediated agreement than an imposed directive, as they can address issues that aren’t open to legal determination, and have a greater degree of control over the details of implementation.
