Frequently asked questions

How does mediation work?

Mediation typically begins with private meetings between the mediator and each individual, followed by check-ins to understand the situation from each side. Where appropriate, this leads to a joint meeting, structured and facilitated so both parties can be heard and work towards a resolution together.

Is mediation confidential?

Yes. Confidentiality and impartiality are central to how mediation works. Bringing in an external mediator helps build the trust needed for people to speak openly.

How long does it take, is it cost effective?

Most two-party cases are settled within 8 hours of mediation, typically over the course of a week.

Can mediation take place between employees in different countries?

Yes. Online mediation makes it straightforward to accommodate participants in different locations.
