MEDIATION, ARBITRATION,
MED-ARB
Arbitration and mediation are forms of alternative dispute resolution.
Mediation brings two or more parties together to have a productive conversation with an ultimate goal of having the parties reach an agreement.
Arbitration is a final and binding dispute resolution mechanism where an independent arbitrator hears all sides of the dispute and then makes a binding decision.
Med-Arb starts with mediation. If a resolution cannot be mutually agreed upon, the mediator changes their capacity to an arbitrator and proceeds to arbitration.
INVESTIGATIONS
An investigation involves any activities required to reach a fair and impartial understanding of a particular problem or issue.
Investigations in the workplace may be required for a variety of reasons such as issues in the areas of:
- Workplace harassment
