Mediation in management conflicts

Mediation in management conflicts

Employment conflicts at director level resolved discreetly with legal certainty.

Conflicts at director or management level require a special approach. The individuals involved often hold public positions, have reputations to protect and are bound by complex contractual and statutory frameworks. A public employment law procedure is rarely in anyone's interest.

Mediation in management conflicts provides a discreet, confidential environment to reach a solution whether that is restoration of the working relationship, a clear redefinition of roles or a legally correct termination of the employment relationship.

When is mediation effective in management conflicts?

Conflict between statutory director and shareholder(s)
Disagreement between directors over strategy or division of tasks
