Mediation and Conflict Resolution

"A conflict can be as small as a disagreement or as large as a war."

Conflict can in fact be valuable if constructively managed.  Effective conflict resolution can result in:

• Improved productivity, complex reasoning skills and creative problem solving
• Increased quality in decision making
• Healthy cognitive and psychosocial development by enanced ability to deal with stress and cope with unforeseen adverse outcomes
• A greater sense of caring, identity and workplace cohesion through improved interpersonal relationships
• Heightened ability to identify problems and improved incentive to change

Langmont Advantage provides mediation and conflict resolution services using a stepwise approach. Negotiation is often an effective first step.  If a constructive resolution cannot be reached through negotiation alone then mediation is very effective in resolving conflict by ending hostile counterproductive behaviour, ensuring commitment to the mediation process and facilitation of a formalised agreement between the parties.
