Sean Gallagher Mediation

The use of workplace mediation is growing in the UK. It has been encouraged by Employment Legislation, which has been created to reduce the number of workplace disputes being taken to Employment Tribunal.

These regulations place substantial emphasis on the resolution of grievances and disciplinary matters within the workplace. Resolution can often be assisted by the use of mediation.

Workplace disputes are a disruptive and time –consuming drain on organizations. Having the procedures in place to resolve workplace disputes at an early stage reduces stress for staff and saves employers considerable time and money.

Mediation is becoming a more popular option generally, and it has proved successful in cases involving difficult grievances and complex discrimination claims.
