HRM know that absence can often be caused or prolonged by conflict and not by any medical condition. If the conflict remains unresolved this may lead to a medical problem. The HRM Mediation Service is designed to address the conflict between the employee and others, whether employer or colleagues.
The HRM Mediation Service is a very cost effective method of dealing with conflicts in the workplace and resolutions can be quickly and effectively established.
A recent case dealt with by one of the HRM Mediators resulted in an employee returning to work and abandoning a case of litigation. This satisfactory outcome resulted in huge savings circa in excess of £100,000.
HRM case managers are often asked about the benefits of Mediation where working relationships have broken down. Workplace Mediation is such a valuable tool, usually taking immediate effect, to bring a quick end to a protracted "stand -off".
