Mediation is a very effective form of dispute resolution.  Whether a dispute is just in the beginning stages or is in full-blown litigation, mediation can help bring peaceful resolution.


· Mediation saves time and money. Mediation usually occurs early in the charge process, and many mediations are completed in one meeting. Legal or other representation is optional but not required.

· Mediation is confidential. All parties sign a confidentiality agreement. Information disclosed during mediation will not be revealed to anyone, including employers, investigative team or legal staff.

· Mediation avoids litigation. Mediation costs less than a lawsuit and avoids the uncertainty of a judicial outcome.

· Mediation fosters cooperation. Mediation fosters a problem-solving approach to complaints and thus workplace disruptions are reduced. 

· Mediation improves communication. Enhanced communication can lead to mutually satisfactory resolutions.


· Mediation allows you to design your own solution. A neutral third party assists the parties in reaching a voluntary, mutually beneficial resolution. Mediation can resolve all issues important to the parties, not just the underlying legal dispute.

· With mediation, everyone wins. An independent survey showed 96% of all respondents and 91% of all charging parties who used mediation would use it again.
