Marshall James Considered the benefits of Workplace Mediation?

“I’m so glad we used Marshall-James to mediate. You not only solved a potentially costly grievance but reunited a team.” HR Director, NHS

A minor employee grievance can rapidly grow into a major organisational headache. It makes sense to consider mediation to resolve workplace issues: a 85% success rate, cost effective in comparison to tribunal and legal costs and the real possibility of repairing damaged relationships. Marshall-James Human Resources has proven success in mediation. Our accredited mediators are available to conduct professional, independent mediation or train in-house teams. We work in both the public and private sectors with all sizes of employer. Contact Marshall-James Human Resources to find out more.
