Workplace Mediation: Cost-effective Conflict Resolution
Workplace mediation
approaches issues of discrimination or harassment as problems arising
from differing information, expectations or understandings. The
employer's commitment to preventing discrimination is advanced by
addressing those differences promptly, before an employee
feels moved to complain to an external agency or initiates litigation.
This approach challenges traditional notions that workplace
discrimination and harassment are mere aberrations to be suppressed,
favoring early resolution of workplace disputes through the skills of a
trained mediator, before the parties' characterization of the conflict
reaches the need to file a formal complaint.

mediation.
