Workplace Mediation
Alternative Dispute Resolution mechanisms like Mediation can help defuse workplace tensions between employees of a team or between a supervisor and a subordinate or between two separate teams, and help create synergy to increase productivity. Everybody wants a happy workplace and any negative energy dissipated by disputes or cold-wars can have a negative impact on morale. Resolving workplace tensions through Mediation has the potential to boost employee morale and build a happy workplace.
Healthcare Mediation
An extremely important relationship, that of a doctor and a patient or a health service provider and a patient can go sour and can lead to even more distress. Mediation is an effective and peaceful method of resolving disputes arising out of such relationships based on healthcare providers and receivers. We, at Mediation Initiative understand how delicate these disputes can be, charged with emotion, and we attempt to resolve them with the utmost care and understanding.
Community Mediation
Disputes arise in all places, in families and even in a larger group of communities, like clubs, housing societies, groups, associations, etc. The dynamics in these communities are different from those in any other kinds of disputes and need to be approached accordingly.
