Why Choose Mediation?

Mediation is an informal process. No written or formal complaint or grievance filing is required.

It is a voluntary process. Participation is never required.

Mediation does not cancel any formal grievance or complaint rights participants might have otherwise. However, identifying and complying with filing deadlines are participant responsibilities.

Mediation offers an efficient, less acerbic and more cost effective alternative to formal grievance, complaint and litigation processes.

The content of mediation sessions is confidential and remains private between the parties involved.

Final agreements between the parties may be reduced to writing. No mediation files or records are created.

Mediation is an empowering process. Unlike formal processes, no third party decisions are made. The parties involved determine acceptable outcomes or resolutions.
