Workplace Mediation Conversion Course

The Workplace Mediation Conversion Course will give you the skills and confidence to move your practice into this growing sector. The Government's current push on workplace mediation identifies many organisations as not knowing of or being able to access a mediation service. The Code of Practice on Grievance and Disciplinary issues emphasises resolution, with mediation cited as a step prior to formal procedure.

This two day conversion course is designed to give you the knowledge and skills to extend your professionalism into the workplace sector. The course will provide advanced techniques for family, civil & commercial or community mediators wanting to take on workplace mediations. The course builds on existing mediation training and experience. The course intends to broaden practice, build on dispute settlement and develop new skills to resolve relationship conflict in the workplace. For mediators who who want to diversify their income stream and expand their portfolio.

The Government wants to reduce the damage, costs and losses associated with escalation through formal procedure and employment tribunal. The Government's commitment to workplace mediation is part of the agenda for growth and business fitness for international competition.

The course will help you understand how mediation fits with and supports policies such as bullying & harassment, fairness & dignity, equality and diversity, performance management, sickness & absence and stress management.
