Labour law mediation
Remediate Mediation offers professional help in finding quick, affordable and sustainable solutions with respect to national and international labour disputes. Employment law mediation deals with everything related to working relationships and/or employment contracts.
COMMON ISSUES
- Conflicts in the workplace
- Problems concerning (poor) performance
- Discussions about (re)allocation of tasks
- Disputes about clauses in the employment contract (e.g. relationship- or non- compete clauses)
- Unequal treatment/discrimination
- Combination of conflict and illness.
WHY A NEUTRAL PARTY IN LABOUR LAW MEDIATION CAN BE VALUABLE
As a neutral and independent process facilitator, the mediator helps parties resume stalled communication. As a consequence, working relations are normalised and costly, legal proceedings avoided. For the parties, the conflict is often confusing and somewhat chaotic, as the issues at play get mixed up. Given her experience as an employment lawyer, legal counsel and manager, Carola helps those involved to get a grip on the matter. Insight into what is really important to them and therefore needs to be addressed in the solution. When parties regain control of the situation and start truly listening to each other again, an important first step has been taken: a step towards mutual understanding, de-escalation and – ultimately – a joint solution to the dispute
HOW DOES LABOUR LAW MEDIATION WORK AT REMEDIATE MEDIATION?
On average, 4 to 6 conversations are needed to resolve a conflict. Often, after a successful first meeting, fewer meetings are needed as the conflict has already been de-escalated. For more complex matters, the number of meetings may be higher.
Prior to the joint mediation sessions, an introductory meeting takes place between Carola and each party separately. The first joint meeting is only scheduled if both parties indicate they wish to continue the mediation.
During the joint conversations, the parties sit at the table together with Carola. If they like, the parties can bring a confidant or advisor along, but this is not necessary. The conversations last 2 to 2.5 hours on average. At the end of each conversation, Carola confirms the agreed upon action points in writing and a follow-up meeting is scheduled. A successful mediation is concluded with an appointment overview or a written agreement signed by the parties.
