Mediation
Mediation can be considered at any stage of this procedure. This is dependent on the nature of the concerns.
We may recommend it as a means of finding a resolution.
Mediation involves the appointment of a third-party mediator. They will discuss the issues raised by the grievance and seek to facilitate a resolution.
We will only use mediation where all parties involved in the case agree.
If mediation fails, employees retain the right to proceed through the resolution procedure.
