Mediation provides an opportunity for those experiencing conflict at work to identify the issues, explore options and reach a workable outcome through a clearly agreed set of actions.

Consultation with elected representatives and individual negotiations may be required in non-unionised workplaces. How do you achieve a lasting, workable solution? How can you minimise redundancies AND maximise your chances of economic survival?
