Business Mediation is a process for resolving
disputes between stakeholders in a business.
Trained mediators facilitate a conversation
between the parties, identify the interests and
critical needs of each party, and help the parties
to develop acceptable solutions. A cost effective
alternative to litigation, business mediation
enables all of the parties to speak for themselves
and thus maintain control over the outcome.
Who will benefit from
business mediation?
Business mediation has proven to be a valuable
method of dispute resolution when issues beyond
mere business complicate the relationships between
the parties in conflict. Thus:
Family business
members,
Business
Partners,
Owners of
closely held businesses,
Boards of
Directors,
And, Executive
Management teams
have all successfully
resolved conflicts using business mediation.
How do we know that we need
business mediation?
Serious business conflict is distinguished from
healthy debate over differences by a number of
factors. Some examples of these could
include:
Inability to
discuss or arrive at conclusions to issues of
perceived importance to one or more parties;
Major changes in
individual goals or life circumstances that
impact commitment/involvement in business;
Ongoing,
seemingly irresolvable ownership issues;
Drastically
different assessments of individual, group, or
organizational performance;
Major
disagreement about whether or not a problem
actually exists.
In any of these
situations, or if you are just uncertain about
which way to turn, calling Mediation Matters can
help.
