If relationships at work fail, you'll count the cost in more ways than one.

Don't find out the hard way about grievance and disciplinary costs.

If you need to appoint a mediator, talk to us today about workplace mediation - the way forward for building better relationships at work.

When the true cost of conflict to British business was revealed to be a staggering £24 billion [CIPD research] it raised a few eyebrows. What's more, even for small businesses the average annual financial cost alone of dealing with a tribunal claim is nearly £20,000. Not to mention the impact on individual, team or department productivity. Or the weeks of management time. Or the negative impression that disengaged staff will give to your customers.

Why risk all that, when there is a cost-effective and sustainable alternative? Workplace mediation is proven to deliver successful outcomes wherever there is a risk of conflict or a need to repair or improve working relationships. It's about solving problems so they don't occur again. Our mediation services will not only help you address the issues you may have right now, they will also improve your organisation's productivity and reduce the escalating cost of absenteeism, stress and sickness absence. And, you'll be less likely to find yourself defending a tribunal claim or trying to fix an irreparable problem.

Last year, we enjoyed a massive 90% success rate in disputes referred to us for mediation. Our own services range from expert mediators who can help solve your problems now, to regular training courses designed to help you build your own accredited in-house mediation team.
