Mediation in the Workplace
Overview
This is a highly interactive and integrated training, participants are introduced to essential knowledge, skills and attitudes, for the demanding work of mediation and conflict resolution.
Skills are taught through a variety of methods; presentations, skill drill exercises, role play, discussions, and group work
Webinar Description
Conflict, Mediation and Facilitation
The skill of active listening is practiced. Participants are shown how to listen for the unique way each client experiences their own lives and the situation they are in (their frame of reference). The skill of reframing is also practiced where participants are shown how to help their clients [any others] refocus their attention away from destructive attitudes and behaviours towards a more constructive perspective.
They are taught how to help both sides negotiate mutually agreed ground rules in order to participate well in challenging conversations, often emotive conversations and reach mutually agreed outcomes.
Communication and Negotiation
This section introduces students to negotiation as a process of bargaining between two (or more) people and how to communicate effectively through each of the stages of effective negotiation.
Participants learn about principled and positional negotiations: theory is integrated into practice with relevant case studies, scenarios and simulations through coached experiential exercises followed up by feedback, self-reflection and self-development. Participants are taught how to manage impasse, non- agreement, caucus, and working with each person separately. They learn how to assist clients [and others] to identify, gather together, manage, analyse and prioritise all the relevant information required to resolve their differences, to identify their favoured priorities, reality test them robustly and seek expertise if necessary, through a tried and tested problem solving method.
They will achieve that by being more skilled in their ability to:
Paraphrase, and listen reflectively

Impart information without giving advice
Facilitate interest based bargaining
