Description

How can you resolve employment disputes effectively through mediation?

If your business is facing a personal grievance, mediation is the first step to resolution.

Mediation is a confidential and cost-effective way to resolve employment relationship problems and personal grievances.

But there’s a catch.

Not everyone understands the mediation process or how to achieve their desired outcome. The prospect of mediation can be daunting – and may feel like you’re on trial.

In our upcoming webinar, our experienced lawyer will give a practical session answering the following questions:

• When should you agree to attend mediation?
• What are mediation do’s and don’ts?
• How can you understand the mediation process to achieve the outcome you want?
• What can you include in a settlement agreement?
• How can you negotiate through without prejudice communication and fireside chats?
