Mediation
Mediation is a voluntary and private process that is used to address conflicts. It is a conversation that is assisted by trained and experienced mediators. 海角官方首页, like other universities across the country, added mediation as a conflict management option to better serve employees who want more control over how their workplace issues are resolved.
Mediation can be helpful for a variety of workplace situations. This includes communication problems, personality or work style clashes, disputes or tensions between coworkers or supervisors and subordinates, and many other workplace conflicts.
Employees often like mediation because it allows them to find solutions that will work for them. Most people who use mediation:
- Gain a greater understanding of the situation and others involved
- Reach some type of agreement
- Are satisfied with the mediation process
