Workplace Mediation
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.
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 £33 billion [CBI member event 2006] 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 - and that's what working with Globis could mean for you. 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.
Mediation is now recognised - officially - as a viable alternative to the discipline and grievance process. The widely publicised 2007 Gibbons 'Better Dispute Resolution' review found current dispute legislation to be ineffective and burdensome, resulting in a recommendation for repeal and encouragement for "employers, employees and practitioners in Great Britain to increase the use of mediation" [Michael Gibbons letter to Rt Hon Alistair Darling MP, then Secretary of State for the DTI.] For more on workplace mediation please click here
