According to a recent survey conducted by ExpertHR half of the organisations surveyed have changed their approach to thier conflict management and/or mediation procedures.
Additionally the findings state that the survey of 190 employers found that the most common type of mediation service used was an external mediator on an ad-hoc basis.
The author of the survey stated that "early and informal methods of conflict resolution, including independent third-party intervention such as mediation, are now a key aim of the government's vision for individual dispaute resolution. Part of the attraction is that it is potentially quicker and cheaper than formal processes and can help preserve the employment relationship"
