“Soms heb je het idee dat je geen kant op kunt.”

Workplace mediation; in various situations

Mediation can help in many situations and conflicts, but Vergroesen Mediation is highly experienced in the following:

  • Workplace conflicts
  • Business disputes, whether within a company, a partnership, or an interest group
  • International business conflicts

 

Mediation is especially useful when:

✅ Both sides are in need for a quick solution to evade a deadlock
✅ You have a business relationship that you’d prefer to maintain
✅ Discretion and confidentiality are crucial (to protect reputations)
✅ There is room for Negotiation – even if it doesn’t feel that way at first.

While parties can choose to start mediation themselves, it’s also common that a court, an insurance company, a company doctor or an HR manager recommends to start a mediation.

Mediation in Workplace Conflicts

When workplace conflicts arise, mediation can help:

  • Restore relationships between colleagues
  • Find a respectful way to end the working relationship
  • Help an employee to reintegrate into the company or elsewhere 
  • Support a transition to a new employer

 

Addressing the conflict early through mediation can prevent stress-related absences, potential penalties and long lasting legal trials.

 

Mediation in partnerships

In partnerships, mediation helps:

  • To discuss difficult topics that you both tend to avoid
  • To investigate your mutual relationship
  • To find clarity on the matter of continuing working together or separate in a neat way. 

 

Mediation in International Business

In International business, mediation can help with issues such as:

  • Disagreement over share valuation in break up
  • Differing expectations about a manager’s responsibilities
  • Conflicts between headquarters and an International branch

 

No matter the situation, mediation can be a cost-effective way to resolve business disputes—both locally and internationally.

 

A Creative and Balanced Approach

Unlike court rulings, mediation leads to tailor-made agreements that fit the needs of both parties.

Once a solution is found, it can be confirmed in a legally binding agreement. And because mediation is an efficient process, costs usually stay low compared to traditional legal proceedings.
