Course Code: WPAUG22


Learning Outcomes Include:
Workplace and Employment mediation training builds on a mediator's existing skills to develop fluency in techniques that are essential in these key areas. The course focuses on the statutory and regulatory framwork as well as the practical skills in what are often demanding mediations. This includes reality testing and reframing as well as the use of reflective language and active listening. Delegates are encouraged to consider their own practice and identify areas in which they might make improvements, including how they might best support inclusivity and avoid the potential for unconscious bias within their mediations.
Delegates are encouraged, if they have experience in the area, to bring an issue they have actually encountered in a mediation that they would be prepared to share, in a confidential environment, with fellow delegates. The purpose being, to learn through others, in a shared way, in sessions led by highly experienced mediators.
