Mediation in a diverse workplace is an essential tool to address disputes, personality clashes and vastly different management styles. External mediators are completely independent and objective.
Mediation is a voluntary process where the aim is to reach a solution to a dispute that all parties can agree to. We believe that mediation should be accessible to all disputes irrespective of their size or complexity, and whether between managers and those managed or between colleagues.
We specialise in medical, scientific and educational establishments, charities and local government. Our backgrounds are in the public sector, science, the trade unions, coaching and development.
COVID changed the workplace and created hybrid working. Returning to the office was welcomed by some, while others were reluctant to return and wary of interacting face to face. Mental health issues are on the rise and there may also be cuts in staffing and new management structures.
The Employment Rights Act 2025 and the creation of The Fair Work Agency (2026) will change the dynamic between employer and employee. Employees are able to turn to mediation as a forum for objective, impartial and safe discussion and exchange of views. The process is confidential and will not be used in any other internal or external procedures such as grievance or disciplinary cases or at an Employment tribunal. Employers will look to mediation to resolve conflict early and avoid potential Employment Tribunal cases.
Mediation skills in a workforce can prevent disputes from escalating. We are often asked to provide training in these kind of skills.
Our backgrounds are in the public sector, science, the trade unions, coaching and development.
McAdam Mediation is registered with the Civil Mediation Council, the recognised authority in the country for all matters related to civil, commercial, workplace and other non-family mediation.
