ON
MEDIATION AND STRATEGIC NEGOTIATION SKILLS
OVERVIEW
According to a
recent study, people favour mediation and negotiation 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.
In most developed
countries, mediation and negotiation as parts of 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, no doubt, make conflict resolution faster and cheaper within families,
communities, schools, workplace and even commercial and public disputes.
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.
