Workplace Mediation

At work

Did you know that more than 65% of performance problems at work result from strained relationships between employees?

Did you know that 49% of workers in Britain say that they have been affected by bullying at some time in their working life?

Workplace conflict is both expensive and destructive, in terms of time, money and stress.  

The causes of conflict can be varied; environment (building and light levels), interpersonal relationships, management communication, personality clashes, inappropriate behaviour.  The causes are many and can be a combination of factors.  What ever the cause, the 'legal routes' for grievances, disciplinaries, Employment Tribunals (ET) and lawyers rarely achieve satisfactory and sustainable outcomes.  Peaceworks has wide experience and a very successful track record (96% success rate) in mediating both public and private sector cases and are your first call for advice about whether or not mediation is appropriate for your situation.

"I would strongly endorse and recommend Peaceworks, particularly where the issues are complex. In my own case there was conflict within the Executive Team that had the potential for significant harm to individuals and the organization but we were steered through the mediation process to a Win/Win situation that I am confident could not have been achieved without the skills of the mediator, Chris Seaton." SP, May 2011

"Micha was terrific and put everyone at their ease, and gave everyone plenty of opportunity to say their bit...  I hugely enjoyed working alongside Micha and as ever, learned a lot. Thank you." HA, March 2011

It felt more like de-constructing some existing skills and putting them back together in a new way

I loved the informality of the group within the formality of the training
