Fight or Flight

In reality, there are more than just two responses to conflict. Each of us reacts to conflict in a unique way. We all have a style of communication, our private or public goals, personal fears and our own ways to get what we need. Conflict resolution through workplace mediation is one way to surface these personal responses and problem solve in a way that is safe and productive.

Workplace mediation i.a process of dispute resolution where an impartial third party intervenes in a conflict, with the consent of the disputants, and assists them in negotiating an agreement. In mediation, the decision-making and problem-solving authority rests with the disputants; the mediator, recognizing variations in communication styles and cultural differences, assists the disputants in defining and clarifying issues, reducing obstacles in communication, exploring possible solutions and reaching a mutually satisfactory agreement.

Mediation presents the opportunity to peacefully express conflict and hear each other out. Conflict isn’t all bad; let the Alice Dendinger Alliance Group show you how to turn this energy into motivated employees and improved productivity.
