Our people
iHR Australia’s mediators are specialists in assisting parties to explore their conflict in depth, think about options, consider alternatives and decide on the best way to move forward in a controlled and safe environment.
Our professional workplace mediation services are delivered by trained mediators, who have extensive experience conducting mediations within a range of organisations and industries.
Parties will be asked if they would prefer for mediation to be conducted on site or at a neutral location away from the workplace.
iHR Australia understands that disputes involve people who can be responding emotionally to sensitive issues. Accordingly our approach to mediation is consultative and tailored for each situation.
