Local councils are subject to more employment problems than most organisations.

Bullying and harassment are known to be common and often such cases lead to high staff turnover, legal costs or even Employment Tribunal cases.

Mediation offers a cost effective alternative and involves an independent mediator
hearing both sides of the problem and aiming to find a way forward that is
acceptable to both parties. It is known to be successful in the vast majority of cases.

We have experience of mediation procedures and would be pleased to speak to any local council employee or councillor about its use in the local council setting.
