ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE
RESOLUTION (ADR) WORKSHOP
At this four-day workshop, you will discover the time-proven process to
find win-win solutions to nearly any dispute thereby saving time, reducing
costs, eliminating litigation and preserving valuable relationships.
Due to the ever-increasing costs of conflict in the workplace, employers are
increasingly turning to ADR as a solution. Employee conflict, labour disputes and
discrimination claims in particular are increasingly common and employers need
to take steps to stem the tide of conflict and lawsuits. ADR is an effective means
to accomplish this goal. It is also the tool used by professional mediators to resolve
conflicts between disputing parties.
ADR seeks to resolve conflict by cultivating cooperation and understanding. It seeks
to find a solution that allows both parties to win. Above all, it seeks to protect the
relationship while solving the problem.
Workshop includes 6 negotiation case studies, 3 mediation case studies, 1 video and a mediation
demonstration. Experienced coaches observe mediation case studies and give feedback.
