Mediation: Why Should You Use Mediation?

While conflict is a normal part of our daily lives, it is often uncomfortable.  When you find yourself in a dispute with a fellow employee, manager, or other colleague, mediation can help you resolve issues in a private, confidential, and timely manner.

  • Mediation is confidential.  The mediator must keep all information confidential.  Information you share with the mediator in private meetings will not be revealed unless you specifically give your permission to do so.
  • Mediation is fast.  Prompt resolution of the dispute frees you to resume your other activities more quickly.
  • Mediation allows you to retain your rights to pursue whatever established alternatives are presently in the system.

Because conflicts can be such a difficult experience, the involvement of a neutral third party helps disputants to focus on solutions and thereby resolve disputes quickly.  Also, discussing a particularly sensitive issue is often easier in the presence of a third party.

Message from the President

"It has been my pleasure to serve as President of this historic mediation council. The Federal Alternative Dispute Resolution Council has served the greater Louisville Federal community for over 10 years. During that period of time the Council has been a trail blazer in the use of alternative dispute resolution within the federal community. It continues that role today. With the introduction of our internet presence we are able to reach out more fully to all federal communities in need of a model for creating their own pool of shared neutrals, or training or professional third party neutral intervention."

- Linda George, Small Business Administration,
FADRC President
