LBV Website Events GraphicMediation In The Workplace

Workplace conflict is inevitable - how you respond to it makes all the difference.

Join our HR consultancy team for a practical and insightful look at how mediation can be used to resolve disputes, rebuild working relationships, and support a more positive and productive workplace culture.

Whether you’re dealing with interpersonal tensions, team breakdowns or more formal disputes, mediation offers a structured, cost-effective alternative to formal processes - helping organisations address issues early and move forward constructively.

What we’ll cover
This session will provide a clear, practical overview of mediation in a workplace context, including:

  • The fundamentals of mediation: Understand what mediation is, how it works and when it is (and isn’t) appropriate to use it.
  • When to intervene: Recognise the signs of workplace conflict and the benefits of early intervention before issues escalate.
  • Types of workplace issues mediation can support: From relationship breakdowns and communication issues to more complex disputes.
  • The commercial and cultural benefits: How mediation can help reduce risk, avoid formal proceedings, and promote a healthier organisational culture.
