Mediation

In mediation, two or more parties voluntarily use the assistance of a trained mediator in a good-faith attempt to resolve conflict.

Examples of situations that may be mediated:

• Disputes between co-workers
• Interdepartmental conflicts
• Communication breakdowns or barriers

Mediators help conflicting parties explore their disputes and attempt to reach agreement. Mediators are not counselors, judges, or decision-makers. Instead, they improve communication and provide direction to help individuals in conflict design their own solutions.
