News release
23 March 2010:
Globis has been selected to provide training for staff selected to become in-house mediators and will support the College’s implementation plans. One of the UK’s leading universities, Queen Mary, University of London recognises the role mediation can play in helping to build better relationships in the workplace. The extension of the mediation scheme has been developed as a partnership between HR, unions and staff.
Sara Corcoran, Head of HR Strategy and Change said “We look forward to working closely with Globis as we expand our capacity for internal mediation and strive to foster a culture of alternative dispute resolution”.
Clive Lewis, Globis director said “It is an honour and privilege to be selected to support such a prestigious organisation. We are looking forward to helping Queen Mary University of London achieve some of the many benefits that come from working with mediation. We have a track record of helping some of the largest organisations in the UK in this area and are excited about partnering with Queen Mary, University of London in a similar way”.
Mediation is being embraced by an increasing number of leading organisations across the UK. The repeal of the statutory dispute procedures on 6th April 2009 is helping this. The business case for mediation is compelling. Research indicates the cost of conflict at work in the UK as £24bn. Organisations working with mediation have been able to demonstrate significant savings in relation to money and management time.
