In the safety of our office or yours, a resolution can be achieved for a fraction of the cost of a litigated settlement. We partner with human resources departments to develop systems and conduct training on conflict management in the workplace, as well as, teaching employers on ways to create a cooperative workplace environment. We mediate the following kinds of disputes: •Wage disputes •Sexual harassment claims •Conflict management •Other high conflict workplace disputes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0c589dcef37282be600472/1529769879987-DPARZYZAC8JMFSZ9QL89/conflict-resolution-in-the-workplace-mn.jpg Civil Mediation - Congregational Mediation Disputes in churches and synagogues often involve controversy over leadership roles, problem behaviors of leaders or congregants, or interactions between leadership and lay people, between boards and committees, or whether or not a new task should or should not be undertaken (such as a new building project).

Our congregational mediation services not only help with settlement of your dispute, but also a reconciliation of the torn relationships as we help your faith community move forward. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0c589dcef37282be600472/1529770129867-3H44KQNB2PSJQLIX45A0/conflict-resolution-in-the-workplace-mn.jpg Civil Mediation - Business & Non-Profit Organization Disputes Mediation Conflicts between partners in a business or between separate business entities are often complex, and in many cases volatile. Mediating these types of conflicts can be a win for both business owners and board members as we resolve disputes and keep costs down. These costs are not just financial, but can also involve loss of credibility or destruction of the relationship between businesses and their customers. as well as, partners or owners who lose sight of a joint goal through bickering and conflict. Our business mediation services can help you and your business partner or colleague establish a plan for moving forward that preserves credibility and future business relations. Non-profit boards dedicate themselves to doing good for others. However, board members sometimes have disputes in the course of making decisions as well as managing staff. We have successfully mediated conflicts among board members, staff, and volunteers in numerous non-profits, having conducted the first such mediation over 30 years ago in 1987. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b0c589dcef37282be600472/1529770660852-WNCHI31MA19TBD3CS4K9/conflict-resolution-in-the-workplace-mn.jpg Civil Mediation - Farm Finance Mediation Economically distressed farmers and their lenders involved in potential foreclosure proceedings have, since 1985 been required by federal and state legislation to mediate.

This process also promotes and encourages the clients to make their own decisions by becoming fully informed about every question, concern or fear raised in mediation. In addition to receiving instruction through lecture on mediation theory, process, strategies, interventions and more, each day, participants can also expect a mixture of interactive exercises, and fishbowl and small group role-plays that demonstrate mediator skills and provide participants with real life case examples. Who Should Attend? Mental health professionals, judges, attorneys, human resource professionals, clergy, family court administrators, financial advisors, and/or paralegals as well as anyone involved in or interested in helping people resolve conflict and anyone interested in improving their skills working with families You Will Receive Expert Instruction: In 1980, Steve Erickson conducted the first 40-Hour Divorce Mediation Training in the Country.
