Workplace & Commercial Dispute Resolution

Dispute an organisation’s best efforts and practices to implement conditions and policies to address employee expectations, workplaces are not always harmonious.  Personalities, egos, mental health, change management and organisational structure may all bring about conflict in the workplace.  It’s inevitable at some stage in a person’s working life.  If not managed effectively, this can lead to employees feeling unsupported, resentful and want to leave.  Workplace mediation is intended to be transformative and restorative.  It’s an opportunity to discuss the issues causing conflict in a safe and supported environment and to learn strategies that prevent conflict escalation, improve communication and promote increased inclusivity for enhanced productivity.

Serious Misconduct

Bullying, harassment, discrimination and other allegations of serious misconduct as well as termination and redundancies are likely to occur at some time over the course of an organisations’ operations.

If managed poorly, this can have a devastating consequence that can lead to criminal allegations, dismissal processes and damage to reputation for an organisation or an employee.  A truly independent third-party accredited mediator will assist the parties to discuss perceptions, intentions and future expectations that lead to resolution and changed behaviours.

The primary aim of our workplace mediations at Mediator Hub is to facilitate discussions that promote increased engagement, commit to safer outcomes and restore workplace relations.

Commercial Dispute Resolution

Business related disputes may arise from allegations of breach of contract, debt, organisational change, commercial & retail leasing and other obligations that lack certainty.  On many occasions these types of disputes can escalate very quickly and become costly, cause delay and further uncertainty which is counterproductive.  At Mediator Hub our mediations are chaired by accredited mediators who are skilled at facilitating private and confidential discussions relating to complex commercial matters.  Our mediators will work with lawyer, accountants, financial advisors and other professionals who may assist in resolving your specialised matter to avoid the matter progressing to protracted legal proceedings.
