Benefits of mediation

  • Mediation promotes a win-win resolution to disputes.
  • Dialogue tends to generate creative options for ending conflict.
  • Participants agree only to solutions that are acceptable to them.
  • Due to the collaborative approach, resolutions may preserve and even enhance relationships.
  • Mediation is less adversarial and costly than litigation and less time-consuming than the grievance process.
