In mediation, two or more parties voluntarily use the assistance of a trained mediator in a good-faith attempt to resolve conflict.
Examples of situations that may be mediated:
Mediators help conflicting parties explore their disputes and attempt to reach agreement. Mediators are not counselors, judges, or decision-makers. Instead, they improve communication and provide direction to help individuals in conflict design their own solutions.
No written records of mediation discussions are kept. Details about each mediation remain confidential unless all participants consent to their disclosure.
Contact Employee Relations, (858) 534-4115. If mediation is selected as the way to resolve your dispute, the National Conflict Resolution Center schedules a mediation session at a neutral location, usually within two weeks.
