We hope that your conciliation meeting will be an equally positive experience for you. Mediation is used to resolve labour relations disputes rather than other disputes, such as compensation or dismissal or behaviour issues. To help you prepare for placement in the workplace, we`ve answered some of the questions you`ve probably already asked. When you are trying to convey a conflict in the workplace, the most difficult part is often to push the parties to focus on the future of that relationship, not on the recent past that leads to its collapse. Until one or both are able to let go of this past, there will be obvious difficulties in creating a new and pristine platform from which they can move forward. You will be advised by the Ombudsman on the process and how long to book your diary. As a general rule, for a two-person mediation, you are asked to set aside a full day for the mediation session. Some meetings usually start at 9:30 a.m. or 11 a.m., the joint meeting usually starts at 1 p.m. and lasts until 4 p.m., but appointments can be flexible during the day. The contracting parties who sign the agreement ensure that the status of the agreement becomes a binding legal document and can be approved by a court. The results of the conciliation are flexible and are decided by the parties. Agreements reached during mediation may credit or debit the payment of the money or the non-payment agreement, give a reference to the work, make an apology, return property and whatever the parties agree to resolve the dispute.

It can be a bargaining power without being able to make final decisions; Maybe he`ll have to inquire about one of his superiors. In this case, the mediator is required to determine the exact extent of the negotiator`s power. This must be done in the first meeting, with gentleness and diplomacy, by asking simple and direct questions, such as: “If we reach an agreement, could you sign it?” or “Is there someone who needs to confirm your decisions?” Placement in the workplace is often used to solve problems that are not serious enough to warrant formal legal intervention, but which still need to be addressed. How; Communication problems, professional disagreements, behavioural problems, fair distribution of work (for example. B rostering) and the rules for sharing and reflecting available resources (. B for example, photocopiers, equipment, car cleaning) or the resolution of an incident in the past. If you have opted for mediation, you have taken an important step in resolving your dispute and improving your working relationship with the other person or the individuals involved.
