ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION (ADR) TRAINING




MANDATORY TRAINING 
ON
“ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION (ADR)”
OVERVIEW
In most developed countries, Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) has been used to resolve a wide range of disputes without going to court. They offer an alternative to destructive confrontation, prolonged litigation and violence both at home and in the workplace. Mediation and negotiation skills as parts of ADR, no doubt, make conflict resolution faster and cheaper within families, communities, schools, workplace and even commercial and public disputes.

According to a recent study, people favour ADR tools to settle disputes instead of litigation because of how the processes work. In mediation for example, parties rely on help of a neutral “mediator” to facilitate constructive communication leading to voluntary agreement by both parties. Decision making rests with the parties themselves. An outstanding benefit of mediation is that, parties get empowered by learning how to improve their conflict resolution and communication skills making it possible for parties to solve problems on their own whenever dispute arises.

More than just a training seminar, this programme contains resources for changing the norms that so often cause obstructive behavior and replacing them with constructive, positive behavior. The core element in the CCPPA training system puts the tools of the professional mediator and negotiator in the hands of every participants/employee to build better relationships whether at home or in the workplace. This is an essential component of every successful organization’s human resource development and organizational development strategic effort. Thousands of people have learned this practical tool for the prevention and early resolution of conflict in any dispute situation.
