Workplace & Business Mediation
Address conflict before it defines the working relationship.
Workplace and business disputes can drain time, trust and focus. Mediation helps colleagues, employees, employers and business partners identify the issues, communicate directly and develop practical agreements for moving forward.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about workplace and business mediation.
What types of disputes are suitable?
Mediation may help with a defined interpersonal, employment or business conflict when the participants can take part voluntarily and have authority to make the necessary decisions.
Does mediation determine who is at fault?
No. Mediation focuses on understanding the issues and finding a workable resolution. The mediator does not investigate, make findings or impose discipline.
Can a lawyer, adviser or representative participate?
That can be discussed during intake. Participation by an adviser or representative should support a fair and productive process and be agreed upon before the mediation.
Will the agreement be legally binding?
An outcome is not automatically binding simply because it was discussed in mediation. Whether an agreement becomes binding depends on its terms, how it is documented and the law that applies. Resolve can prepare a written summary, and participants may obtain independent legal advice before signing formal terms.
Is the process confidential?
Mediation is generally private and confidential under the mediation agreement, subject to the legal and professional exceptions explained during intake.
