A look at grievance mediation

Article Abstract:

Grievance mediation has not been fully accepted in worker-employer situations that have traditionally relied on labor arbitration. Companies believe they have more advantage in arbitration because the costs are less and they give up less power to the workers. However, a case study at a manufacturing firm demonstrated that grievance mediation provided outcomes that were not unacceptable to both parties, increased efficiency of resolution and reduced resentment in the workplace.

Divorce mediation

Article Abstract:

Divorce mediation can be an alternative to litigation if spouses are prepared to cooperate and concentrate on the future. Mediators should create a comfortable environment, be impartial and begin with least contentious issues. Spouses can vent emotion to heal but not to be counterproductive. Mediators should ensure agreements are voluntary. One spouse should not have power over the other.

Experts can facilitate a mediation

Article Abstract:

Expert opinion can be beneficial to mediation if the mediator properly handles the expert witness's role. Any questions about the expert witness should be discussed in a conference before the mediation. Expert witnesses should be encouraged to be collaborative during the mediation. Expert witnesses should help both parties understand the information relevant to the dispute.
