Mediation
Mediation is a
negotiation
facilitated by a
trained third
party neutral
who helps the
parties reach
decisions. The
mediator has no
decision-making
power but
assists the
parties to a
dispute to
voluntarily
reach mutually
acceptable
settlement of
disputed issues.
Mediation can be
used when
earlier attempts
at resolution
have failed.
Because the
mediator is not
a person
directly
involved in the
dispute, the
mediator can
help the parties
fully explore
the facts of the
case and think
about new
settlement
options.
Neutral persons
often provide
parties with new
perspectives on
the issues that
divide them.
Emotions can
become intense
and prevent
settlement.
Parties can find
themselves too
attached to
their positions
that can prevent
them from seeing
all options
clearly. |
