Workplace Mediation<\/h1>\n

In a workplace dispute, mediation offers the individuals involved the chance of finding a resolution to their problem in an informal manner.\u00a0 They are in control of the resolution.\u00a0 The parties will agree the solution between them, how they should proceed with their working relationship since mediation focuses on the future.\u00a0 Moreover, the mediation process is a secure environment for all concerned where they can have their say and be heard.\u00a0 From experience I recommend mediation in workplace disputes as I have witnessed positive outcomes during my time as a mediator.<\/p>\n

Mediation has become an indispensable tool in dealing with workplace disputes.\u00a0 Without conciliatory intervention workplace disputes can result in work environments poisoned with conflict, lowered productivity and the loss of effective employees.\u00a0 Mediation can assist resolve diputes between employees or issues arising between employees and their employer.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”off|desktop” admin_label=”CTA 2″ module_class=”sfly_cta sfly_cta_2 sfly_black_overlay” _builder_version=”4.9.7″ background_color=”#000000″ background_image=”http:\/\/lingwoodmediation.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/lisa-lingwood-1-scaled.jpg” parallax=”on” parallax_method=”off” custom_padding=”|||” saved_tabs=”all” global_module=”84″][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ custom_padding=”|||”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#006994″ header_font=”||||||||” header_text_color=”#006994″ header_3_font=”|700|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#006994″ background_layout=”dark”]

Why is Mediation particularly suited to workplace disputes?<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Mediation is confidential – disputants get to air and resolve their differences without ‘the entire company knowing’.<\/li>\n
  • An external Mediator is unconnected to the situation and therefore their neutrality and impartiality is guaranteed.<\/li>\n
  • Mediation gives disputants a safe, neutral setting to air their grievances.<\/li>\n
  • Mediation can deal with a workplace dispute without involving other employees or management.<\/li>\n
  • Workplace disputes can aften escalate to involve formal procedures, Mediation can intervene before things go ‘too far’.<\/li>\n
  • Mediation assist the parties to communicate more effectively and sets the standard for future conduct.<\/li>\n<\/ul>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/lingwoodmediation.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/workplace-2.jpg” alt=”Workplace Mediation” title_text=”Workplace Mediation” _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default” box_shadow_style=”preset1″ box_shadow_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.72)”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Image 2″ module_class=”sfly_image sfly_image_2 sfly_dark_overlay” _builder_version=”4.9.10″ background_image=”http:\/\/lingwoodmediation.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/office2.jpg” parallax=”on” custom_padding=”236px||236px||true|” hover_enabled=”0″ title_text=”office2″ sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default”]

    Facts<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Mary works as a bookkeeper for a manufacturing firm. She has worked there for more than 20 years and is very committed to her job.<\/p>\n

    The firm has been recently taken over by another company and Frank, the managing director is introducing many new changes that he regards as necessary, including changes to the accounting department where Mary works.<\/p>\n

    Frank feels that Mary is being very resistant to change. He feels that he needs someone to get onboard with the new practices that he has introduced, and that Mary is not doing that.<\/p>\n

    Mary feels that Frank is being very difficult and will not listen to her concerns about the new accounting system. It seems to her that everything task is taking twice as long to do thanks to the new system, and she is feeling completely overworked and overwhelmed.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default”]

    The Process<\/h4>\n

    Pre-mediation sessions were scheduled where the Mediator met with each partly separately at a neutral venue outside the workplace.<\/p>\n

    At this session:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • The mediator gives each party the opportunity to tell their side of the story<\/li>\n
    • The mediator gives each party the opportunity to ask questions<\/li>\n
    • The mediator in turn asks questions of each party<\/li>\n
    • The mediator explains the principles of mediation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

       <\/p>\n

      The following day, mediation between the parties took place at a neutral venue outside of workplace. The mediator brought the parties together and asked the parties to sign an Agreement to Mediate.<\/p>\n

      The parameters of the mediation are decided, and the mediation begins.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default”]

      Conclusion<\/h4>\n

      The mediation was difficult. Mary said that she wanted to leave the company and Frank stated that he would not pay her redundancy for her length of service with her former employer, only the length of time she worked for him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

      Initially, there were very heated exchanges and neither side would concede on their views.<\/p>\n

      However, by preserving, giving each disputant the time to talk and to listen, Frank conceded that there were a lot of changes for Mary to cope with and he agreed to provide Mary with more help, by hiring a part-time bookkeeper and to give Mary more training.<\/p>\n

      Mary agreed that she would commit to working with Frank for the next year and that she would not leave during this time, so as not to disrupt Frank\u2019s plans for the business.<\/p>\n

      Mary also expressed her thanks to Frank for agreeing to hire extra staff and to provide more training.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Apologies were expressed by both sides<\/li>\n
      • It was agreed that the parties would return to mediation in a year\u2019s time to discuss how both sides would like to move forward<\/li>\n
      • It was agreed that the terms of the agreement would remain strictly confidential<\/li>\n<\/ul>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”off|desktop” admin_label=”CTA 2″ module_class=”sfly_cta sfly_cta_2 sfly_black_overlay” _builder_version=”4.9.7″ background_color=”#000000″ background_image=”http:\/\/lingwoodmediation.ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/lisa-lingwood-1-scaled.jpg” parallax=”on” parallax_method=”off” custom_padding=”|||” saved_tabs=”all” global_module=”84″][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ custom_padding=”|||”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.9.10″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.10″ text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#006994″ header_font=”||||||||” header_text_color=”#006994″ header_3_font=”|700|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#006994″ background_layout=”dark”]

        Facts<\/strong><\/p>\n

        Michael works for a large retail company as a warehouse manager and his job provides him with a large degree of autonomy.<\/p>\n

        His employer, Vincent, plans to expand the business and in doing so changes the structure of the company and inserts a new layer of management by hiring Sean to oversee operations at regional level, leaving Vincent free to concentrate on their national strategy.<\/p>\n

        Michael is only told about this when he is called to head office by Vincent, who introduces Sean to Michael as his new boss.<\/p>\n

        Michael feels that since Sean has arrived, his position and his authority are being undermined. Whereas once he made his own decisions, he now must run everything by Sean. Michael also feels that Sean is being overly critical of his work, where previously there had been no complaints and that he is doing so to make a name for himself at Michael\u2019s expense.<\/p>\n

        Sean feels that it is Michael who is undermining him and not the other way around.<\/p>\n

        Sean is very proud of his new job. He does want to prove himself to his boss and would like to move up the ranks of the company in time. He just recently got married, has just bought a house and has quite a large mortgage to pay and he does not want to lose his job for that reason also.<\/p>\n

        Sean feels that Michael resents his presence and is doing all he can to be as difficult as possible.<\/p>\n

        Vincent is very disappointed that Sean and Michael are not getting along. This is placing a lot of extra pressure on him and is taking up a lot of his time when he really needs to be focusing on his expansion plans.<\/p>\n

        Relations have broken down between Michael, Sean and Vincent and they agree to mediation.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default”]

        The Process<\/h4>\n

        The mediator is contacted, and mediation begins the following week.<\/p>\n

        Day 1: Mediator meets with each party separately at a neutral venue with each meeting taking approximately 1.5 hours.<\/p>\n

        At these meetings<\/p>\n

          \n
        • The mediator gives each party the opportunity to tell their side of the story<\/li>\n
        • The mediator gives each party the opportunity to ask questions<\/li>\n
        • The mediator in turn asks questions of each party<\/li>\n
        • The mediator explains the principles of mediation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          The following day, the mediator meets the three disputants simultaneously.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default”]

          Conclusion<\/h4>\n

          While the mediation is very heated, Vincent does acknowledge that he might have given Michael more notice of his plans to hire an individual who would become Michael\u2019s boss.<\/p>\n

          Vincent also acknowledges that Michael is a very valued member of staff and that his commitment to the company is undeniable.<\/p>\n

          Vincent also explains that he needs Sean\u2019s help with the expansion plans.<\/p>\n

          Discussions between Sean and Michael were less harmonious, with each side accusing the other of bullying and deliberate undermining of their positions.<\/p>\n

          Following extensive discussion, the following matters were agreed:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • A mutual apology was given by all parties to each other<\/li>\n
          • Michael\u2019s roles and responsibilities were clarified and agreed \u2013 recognition was given that he would remain in charge of the warehouse and have autonomy in this area<\/li>\n
          • Sean\u2019s roles and responsibilities were clarified and agreed \u2013 he would continue as regional manager and have autonomy on regional matters<\/li>\n
          • Michael and Sean would work together to ensure the smooth running of operations by meeting once a week to discuss any work-related issues and keeping each other abreast of any developments or new procedures<\/li>\n
          • If any issue arose in the future, it would be referred to mediation<\/li>\n
