During the mediation, parties are given an opportunity to give their perspective on the conflict. With the guidance of mediators, the parties eventually communicate directly with each other and begin to develop options for resolving the problems. The mediation process not only addresses current problems, it also provides assistance in developing ways to resolve future conflicts.
It is important that a conflict management system provides options for all types of problems within an organization, and mediation can offer an effective early intervention providing dispute resolution without the need to implement complex policies and grievance procedures. This also can eliminate EEOC charges and litigation.
