11 November 2009: One of the most exciting developments in the mediation world during 2009 has been the emergence of workplace mediation. Helped by the Gibbons review and the introduction of the news ACAS Code of Practice, employers and lawyers are commissioning more mediation. Globis was one of the organisations invited to advise the Gibbons panel during the review. Globis MD, Clive Lewis, is author of the widely-acclaimed “The Definitive Guide to Workplace Mediation”.
Globis has seen a sharp increase in the number of civil/commercial trained mediators who want to add workplace and employment related mediation to their portfolio. So much so, that they have launched a Workplace Mediation Conversion Course specifically tailored for this group.
The 2 day course will deal with both the theory and the practical aspects of workplace related disputes, looking at key things such as:
- The 7 step commissioning process,
- Understanding key phrases and terms used in workplace disputes,
- How to draft a workplace related settlement agreement,
- How to follow up after mediation workplace disputes, and
- Providing delegates with an opportunity to practice workplace mediation skills by using real-life case studies.
The first course kicks off on 26th – 27th January 2010 and will be held at the IDRC, Fleet Street, London. Spaces are likely to be filled quickly.
The business case suggests that conflict in the workplace is costing UK employers £24bn per year. With 2010 likely to bring tighter budgets to most organisations, mediation represents a cost effective alternative to an ongoing workplace dispute or going to tribunal. The indications are that there will be a continued soar in the number of organisations referring case to mediation.
This course attracts Law Society and Bar Standards Board CPD points.

Note to Editors:
- Globis is one of the UK’s leading providers of workplace mediation services.
- Globis founder and director, Clive Lewis is the Author of ‘The Definitive Guide to Mediation at Work’.
- A new ACAS code of practice introducing mediation for the first time was introduced in April 2009.

5 November 2009: The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has advised employers to do more to tackle the effects of stress in the workplace.
The cost of work-related mental illness is reported to be £28bn per year – a quarter of the UK’s total sick bill. Nice advised that there are a number of simple steps that organisations can take to prevent stress levels increasing. Part of the problem, they said, lay with the relationship between line managers and direct reports.
Globis MD, Clive Lewis said “Poor working relationships can have a negative impact on productivity and can cause employees to regularly call in sick. Giving feedback, praise, setting objectives and reviewing performance can all help to manage the stress levels faced by today’s workers. Globis has been working hard to help organisations understand more about building better relationships and managing stress in the workplace”.
The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development recently produced a survey which revealed that a quarter of UK workers describe their mental health as moderate or poor, yet nearly all continued to work regularly.
Dame Carol Black, the government national director for health, who produced a report calling on employers to take more of an interest in the health of their workforce, welcomed the recommendations.
The Confederation of British Industry said that many organisations have set up staff support schemes in recent years.
