Employment Mediation (Dec 09)

Expert analysis on the law and practice and how to ensure a successful outcome

Introduction

Employment mediation, as a form of dispute resolution, is an indispensable tool in resolving what often seem to be intractable disputes quickly. This saves both time and money for the employer and avoids an employment tribunal hearing.

The issues in such disputes are complex and there are many legal and commercial risks to consider. Mediation provides the opportunity to cut through these and get to the heart of the parties’ interests.
