Conflict and Disputes
Resolution Process for Workplace Conflict and Disputes
Bridge Mediation uses a phased approach to resolve conflict and achieve workable solutions in the workplace based using a hybrid coaching and mediation process. We do not seek to determine who is at fault; but rather to enable participants to understand how they deal with conflict in order to avoid similar situations in the future.
Individual and Team Coaching
Bridge Mediation can also assist you and your organisation by providing conflict management coaching to either individuals or teams to enable them to develop their skills and techniques to address and deal effectively with conflict in their organisation and improve their overall performance.
Bridge Mediation can assist you, your clients, your suppliers and your employees with an opportunity to work together with the assistance of a mediator/ facilitator/ neutral third party in order to find a resolution to your business problems created by conflict.
Running a business involves interacting with multiple individuals and organisations who make up your supply chain. Problems will occur from time to time which may lead to ongoing conflict and disputes with any one of these parties. Most disputes can be resolved quickly and effectively through facilitated communications between decision makers.
If you are unable to resolve this conflict and reach an agreement seriously consider using an appropriate dispute resolution process to enable all the parties involved to discuss the problem, explore options, find a solution and restore their working relationship which is critical to the success of your business. This is a better approach than resorting to costly and time consuming litigation in order to have a court make a determination for you.
Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) involves the use of technology to facilitate the resolution of disputes via negotiation, mediation or arbitration (ADR) between the parties outside the formal court system. While ODR has been around for some time the impact of Covid-19 and it’s effects on people, businesses, travel and meetings have completely altered how we function and work today. These changes have resulted in an increase in the use of ODR to cope with the spike in conflict and disputes resulting from the lock down.
The scope of ODR offered by Bridge Mediation to our clients can range from simple teleconferencing facilities such as ZOOM to a dedicated comprehensive ODR platform covering the entire process from creating a claim, managing the associated documentation to concluding with a signed settlement document.
Bridge Mediation works with parties to tailor the ODR process to meet their needs and provide tips on how to use ODR effectively.
Mediation
“Elder Mediation” is a co-operative process in which a professionally trained elder mediator assists an older person and their families to discuss important topics, work through issues in order to make decisions and reach agreements which have a particular impact on older adults.
Elder mediation is a focused, preventative, respectful process usually involving multiple parties, multiple issues and inter-generational in nature.
The mediator facilitates the discussions focusing on strengths and empowerment and assists the participants to both listen and be heard in a safe and respectful manner in order to address their stated wishes and concerns.

The best way to avoid a dispute is to circumvent it from happening in the first place. If this is not possible then the dispute needs to be managed in the best, quickest and most economical manner possible.
Each of the traditional ADR methods from mediation to litigation has a place in resolving disputes. However, they are all inherently reactive and only come into play when there is a well-developed dispute which the parties themselves cannot resolve without assistance.
Dispute Avoidance Advisors (DAA) and Dispute Avoidance Boards (DAB) can play an active role working with the parties to either eliminate or minimise the dispute and its impact on them. These roles are particularly useful when the parties are involved in complex, lengthy or high-value contracts/ projects.
