Mediation is the preferred intervention when two or more individuals (or groups) meet impasse for any variety of reasons. Mediation is often referred to as the win-win solution because each participant comes away with something of value, be it respect or other compensation.
Mediation is also frequently thought of as an alternative to attorneys and the courts, but it can be used in conjunction with legal proceedings. Mediation typically is less costly since matters can be resolved much more quickly. Mediation also provides a greater range of creative solutions than do the courts which in most instances can award only monetary relief—which isn’t always adequate and often is not collectible.
Another benefit, in contrast to lawsuits, is that mediation supports improved, ongoing relationships so important in business and organizations.
