Workplace Mediations
Our Experience
Workplace mediation is a dispute resolution technique used to assist parties to resolve issues and achieve an ongoing workable relationship.
Mediation is a confidential and structured process in which an independent and impartial third party facilitates discussion between the various individuals involved.
Mediation is more cost effective and a less time consuming process than formal proceedings and in many cases can resolve disputes before parties feel the need to consider litigation.
The process is confidential and limited to the immediate parties involved and therefore limits involvement and disruption to the wider workgroup. Successful mediation can enhance and assist your organisation to stabilise ongoing internal and external working relationships and achieve better outcomes for parties involved.
iHR has workplace mediators across Australia and can conduct mediation in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide and Canberra. Our workplace mediators are experienced, sensitive and have worked in different industries and organisations.
iHR also offers Workplace Mediation Skills training publicly and as an onsite program.

When to use workplace mediation?
Workplace Mediation is an appropriate measure in situations where:
- Parties to a grievance are willing or prefer for a matter to be dealt with informally through a mediated process rather than through a formal investigation
- The matters do not involve serious misconduct or a serious breach of company policy, but rather are a result of misunderstanding, personality clashes or a difference of opinion
- The matter can be resolved realistically through mediation.
