Our Mediation Services

Alternate dispute resolution

Mediation is an inexpensive form of alternate dispute resolution, compared to more formal options such as litigation or arbitration.

Synergise offers a mediation service for individuals and organisations seeking this form of dispute resolution where personal or professional relationships have got off-track. Our accredited mediators (through LEADR - Association of Dispute Resolvers) specialise in mediating workplace and personal issues.

Whether conflict arises between employers, employees, clients, neighbours, suppliers, family or friends, our consultants use recognised and effective techniques, to assist parties work towards a sustainable resolution.

The goal of mediation is to assist disputing parties focus on a mutual problem, discuss it, debate possible outcomes and, if they choose, consent to a solution.  In mediation, people get the opportunity to say what they really need to in a confidential and safe atmosphere, in the presence of a neutral third party who keeps the communications respectful and constructive.

Workplace Mediation

Our professional staff have particular expertise in dealing with workplace issues. Unresolved workplace grievances and conflict can result in poor productivity, absenteeism, illness and injury or stress claims. If conflict remains unresolved pre-existing physical or psychological injuries can deepen. This may lead to increased cost of claims and further productivity loss.

During workplace mediation, the individuals take responsibility for resolving the dispute through active decision making and tailored action plans. Our experienced workplace mediators and organisational psychologists can assist your company's  effectiveness by:

• preventing workplace grievances and conflict escalating
• reducing time lost through direct and indirect costs associated with ongoing unresolved conflict
• impartially facilitating discussion, agreement and settlement in a controlled environment
• avoiding costly litigation and unwanted publicity - whatever is said in mediation remains confidential.
