What is mediation?

Mediation is a voluntary, confidential, and affordable process for workplace conflict resolution with the assistance of a neutral, trained professional. Fixit mediators assist parties in creating their own agreements using a process that addresses the interests of all parties involved. Participants have an active role in the final outcome and leave with a greater understanding of the situation and a mutually satisfying resolution.

Our Services

Workplace Mediation / Conflict Resolution

Many times organizations or businesses find themselves with lawsuits and costly litigations when workplace disagreements are not properly addressed. FIXIT Mediation is your alternative to the financial hardships or long ineffective attempts to discipline and possible termination, leading to legal action. FIXIT Mediation can be the answer.

Our goal is to ensure a safe and calm setting, in which we can help you and/or your staff, come to a satisfactory resolution of the issues disrupting your daily operations. Workplace Mediation is for businesses big and small who wish to leave behind the adversarial systems, and who are looking for a quicker and satisfying solution.

Workplace disputes are never easy to discuss and often trigger a range of emotions. The mediator, as an impartial party, facilitates these hard discussions and ensure a respectful and productive environment. Whatever your needs may be, we will work together to offer you flexible services you may require and tailor any mediation to the best of our abilities.

We take pride in offering our services in Both French and English.

Workplace Restoration / Group Mediation

Workplace Restoration follows all the same systemic guidelines as a two or three-party mediation. The difference comes with working with an entire or part of a department.

Workplace restorations can be slightly more time consuming due to the number of parties involved and ensuring each individual is properly heard. Know that we will work with you to ensure you meet your fiscal responsibilities.

Workplace Mediation Can Help

Workplace harassment

Mediation is a restorative option for workplace harassment. We offer services that allow your staff to have open conversations and voice their concerns surrounding the developing situation.

Workplace bullying

Workplace bullying is not only disruptive but unacceptable learned behavior. Mediation offers services ensuring a safe environment that allows parties to explore why the conduct is unproductive and how to move forward.

Personality-based conflicts

All of your employees (including managers) have unique life experiences and differences. This often leads to fundamental incompatibility in their personalities, their approaches to work, or their style of life. Avoiding these issues may be tempting but mediation lets us reframe, explore an individual's strengths while finding cooperative communications. Ultimately, strengthening the team as a collective.

Leadership conflicts

Many management styles make up our workplaces. Exploring participants views, values, and perceptions can often shed some light on why a manager appears tough but essentially can learn from their behaviors and focus on healthy management skills vs learned behaviors

Dismissal

Dismissal often appears to be a last resort and mediation can oftentimes steer away from this devastating result. You can often avoid expensive letigation with mediation services.

Independence/ task-based conflicts

Often organizations do not have specific policies and procedures. This is common and can be rectified. We can help your organization set up new standards and clear expectations. We can also follow up with the requirements for implementing these new processes.

Working styles and habits

Together we will find ways to leverage strengths, balance weaknesses, and develop processes to avoid future problems. The end results most often lead to increased productivity.
