Attending Mediation

One Day Workshop

Be prepared for mediation

BEFORE you have to attend!

Workshop Overview

How can you prepare for Mediation without actually attending?

By coming to our one day workshop on ‘Attending Mediation’ of course!

In this workshop you’ll cover off the legislation around personal grievances and settlements, and then work through a real case and then attend a mediation simulation with a mediator - to see how it really works and how well you might do to get the right outcomes.

You’ll get experience:

Responding to a Personal Grievance
Analysing what the issues are
Preparing the paperwork as an employer or employee advocate
Attending the ‘mediation’ and presenting your case
Negotiating and signing off a settlement

During the workshop you’ll be provided with a comprehensive workbook which includes information about the legislation and processes, as well as case studies and room for you to prepare for your mediation.

You’ll be provided with morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea.
