Mediation in Workplace Disputes

Workshop leader: Gill Shaw

SGL Room, Bishop's Palace, Eden Court, Inverness

Description:
“Mediation is based on the principle of collaborative problem-solving, with a focus on the future and rebuilding relationships, rather than apportioning blame.”

Extract from mediation policy, University of Central Lancashire


Join Gill Shaw for a workshop exploring the role of mediation in resolving workplace disputes.

By considering a number of scenarios in the workplace (and beyond) the session will help you:

• Clarify what mediation is,
• Understand how mediation might work in practice,
• Consider what the potential benefits of mediation are, and
• Identify the potential downsides to mediation.

Gill will also briefly highlight some of the growing number of areas (beyond the workplace) where mediation is being adopted to resolve legal disputes.

The event is free and lunch will be available for £3.00. PRE BOOKING IS ESSENTIAL
