Sadly, wherever people work together the potential for conflict is never too far away.

 

And quite often we are all guilty of the same cardinal sin when it comes to conflict: avoidance.

​

Avoiding conflict allows it fester and spread and become a much bigger issue, impact more and more people, and become a bigger and potentially more expensive problem to fix.

​

At PDR we empower leaders to address conflict early, skillfully and confidently.  We help leaders understand the importance of getting to the root cause of the issue without which the likelihood of a resolution would be very low.

​​

And if assistance is required to resolve the dispute we help by providing a structured and proven conflicts resolution process. A Facilitated Mediation helps the parties involved address their disputes constructively before they escalate further into entrenched disengagement, formal grievances or legal action.

 

Proactive Dispute Resolution can not only preserve relationships in the workplace but can also support and help instill a culture of open communication and respect, which is essential for maintaining morale and driving organisational performance.

​

Between business partners and family members, mediation can prevent dicputes from escalating to costly legal action or permanently destroying realtionships.​​

Understanding When Workplace Mediation Small Business is Needed

 

Mediation is appropriate in workplace mediation in small business settings when:

• Two or more workers have an ongoing conflict that affects their work.

• A disagreement is escalating, and direct communication has failed.

• You want to resolve the issue without formal disciplinary action.

• You need to repair working relationships while keeping the focus on business goals.
