Mediation &
Mediation Training
Mediation is a non-litigious method of resolving disputes.
The outcome of Mediation often allows conflicted parties to arrive at a resolution that is mutually acceptable.
This alternative form of dispute resolution is facilitated by a trained, neutral third party.
Mediation places control of the outcome in the hands of the parties directly involved in the issue. Over the years this type of Alternative Dispute Resolution has developed an excellent track record of success, and is widely accepted as an indispensible alternative to litigation.
Worklife uses mediation to solve many types of disputes/conflicts between employees and employers; business partners; consumers and service providers and commercial contractors. Mediation is also useful within community organizations, churches, neighborhoods and families.
The Worklife Institute provides a trained, neutral third party, to facilitate the resolution process.
