Resolve It Dispute Resolution : Nelson Tasman

Workplace Mediation

Workplace Mediation and Dispute Resolution Services in Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough

At Resolve It, we help clients find resolution through workplace mediation. We offer services through Nelson, Tasman and Blenheim.

Workplace Mediation is confidential, informal and voluntary. An impartial mediator facilitates communication between those in dispute. As a result, parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement. This, in turn, improves their future working relationship.

Workplace Mediation offers a private forum where parties can discuss their dispute and feel that they have been heard. They will also gain insight and understanding of the other party’s perspective. Finally, they’ll work together to explore and develop possible ways forward.

Benefits of Workplace Mediation?

Recognition and understanding

Importantly, workplace mediation allows parties to have their say and be heard. Both express their point of view and understand the other parties viewpoint.

Self-determination

The parties in dispute decide what works best for them. That is to say, they make their own decisions about the best way forward.

Timeliness and speed

Workplace mediation can usually take place quickly, therefore ensuring parties can move on. In other words, the process offers minimum disruption to the party’s lives and their workplace.

Cost-effective

The process of workplace mediation has clear benefits in terms of financial costs. But it also reduces emotional costs on all parties.

Confidential

Above all, the confidential nature of this process ensures disputes can be freely discussed, safe in the knowledge that information cannot be used elsewhere.

Mediation agreement

Finally, where parties reach an agreement that they both support and commit to, they are far more likely to adhere to it.

Workplace mediation can help solve:

  • Problems between employees
  • Performance issues
  • Harassment complaints
  • Issues between manager and staff member
  • Departments in conflict

The Process of Workplace Mediation

Initially, we meet with each party separately. We focus on conflict coaching so parties might understand the issues from each other’s perspectives, as well as their own.

Opening Statements:

Firstly, we hear opning statements from the mediator and from each of the parties.

Identify:

Here we focus on the problem both parties are facing. Together we determine the key issues that need to be discussed.

Discuss:

Next comes the stage where we explore matters in full and open discussion.

Problem Solve:

After discussion, the mediator facilitates as both parties work together to find solutions.

Seperate Meetings:

This optional breakout time allows each party time to reflect and regroup.

Agreement:

Finally, with an agreement in place, both parties are ready to move on.

We work throughout Nelson, Tasman and Blenheim and can help you manage conflict in the workplace.
