—mediation at work
A disagreement in the workplace so cooperation is unpleasant?
Waiting until your colleague is out of sight before entering the hallway?
The association is at stake?
It can change.
Colleagues can learn to re-appreciate each other. So that co-working is enjoyable and more than just each person on his or her own island. And the practice or company as a whole also has a better chance of being or remaining successful.
Sometimes people are so driven that it is difficult to let go of or adjust a goal. Sometimes we lose ourselves in a struggle. We each come from our own perspective, with the necessary blind spots. Often we are right. And so is the other. Each in his or her own way. It is very human.
In mediation we sit down voluntarily and take the time to look at what is really going on. In as few meetings as possible, we look for customised solutions that work for everyone in a sustainable way. The mediator plays a neutral, facilitating role. The people involved design the solution themselves.
Alignment
Time is taken to discuss the issue and explore respectfully what happened. As soon as we get clarity on what the commonalities are that are alive as well and that can connect all partners, we move on to finding a solution.
Mediation works when all partners are prepared to:
listen to the others
look at their own share in the issue
explore how they themselves can contribute to the solution.
As a Certified mediator I facilitate for your team to find a conclusive short-term solution as well as to create a more sustainable long-term cooperative environment.

Mediation can:
save you time: Time for your actual work instead of time needed for the conflict. Included the mental space needed for all the emotions and thoughts around it.
reduce stress: Respectful relationships lead to more mental and emotional peace at mind.
save you money: Prevention of costs due to malpractices, sick leave, meeting time to solve the conflict, re inventing procedures etc. No costs for lawyer nor other legal fees.
However, do be aware that people can withdraw from the process, as amongst colleagues it is voluntary.
