Mediation Information for CompEAP

Members of CompEAP are entitled to discounted mediation services through MWI mediators. The services are designed to help HR, ER, employees, and other interested parties resolve conflict effectively and productively.

Mediation

Mediation is a process in which parties agree to work together, with the assistance of a trained neutral, to explore their respective interests and generate options for resolving their dispute. The mediator helps to facilitate communication and has no power to impose a resolution. Mediation is a flexible process that allows the parties to discuss, in confidence, any issues they choose to address and determine the outcome.

Benefits of mediation include:

  • High Success Rate
  • Convenience
  • Self-Determined Outcome
  • Time Savings
  • Restoration or Preservation of Relationships

Examples of disputes include:
