MEDIATION
Our mediators facilitate the mediation process by guiding the negotiations between two or more people experiencing conflict to assist them in arriving at mutually acceptable solutions. The mediator is objective and unbiased throughout the mediation process and ensures that everyone involved is given an equal opportunity to be heard and respond, providing that discussions are fair and balanced and helping each person identify their own needs, evaluate their options, and develop solutions to their problems.

Workplace Mediation
Your workplace mediator facilitates and enables two or more parties in conflict to have a productive and results-based conversation about the issues they are experiencing.
The goal is to reach a mutually agreeable agreement without further conflict and avoid getting derailed in debate. As your mediator, we are impartial and help direct you towards a resolution. We don’t make the decisions for you. We ensure that you are heard and safe and achieve a balanced outcome.
