Mediation First is a dispute resolution programme by Mediation Mantras, designed for industry associations to help their members resolve professional and commercial disputes amicably through Mediation.
The Mediation First programme helps prevent issues and incidents from escalating into crises that require extended litigation or acrimonious arbitration.
The programme recognises that disputes within and between industry members not only harm the business and reputations of the Parties involved but also have the tendency to cast negative shadows on the industry, as being conflicted.
Mediation helps organisations resolve internal conflicts that remain unresolved despite due internal processes and leadership interventions.
Mediation also helps resolve short-term disputes or long-term conflicts between industry members, and, or, between members and other industry stakeholders, like vendors, customers, and investors, to name a few.
If you represent an industry association or are a member of an industry association that could benefit from a robust, amicable dispute resolution process, speak with us about the Mediation First programme. We’d love to talk about how we can help.
The Mediation First programme consists of two parts, designed for dispute resolution and dispute prevention.
A Mediation Desk and Panel of Mediators:
For the adoption of Mediation as the primary form of dispute resolution within and between organisations in the industry.
A Mediation Awareness and Sensitisation Programme:
To help all stakeholders in the Public Relations industry embrace a Mediation mindset, that will help prevent disputes within and between stakeholders.
