Kick-start conversations with facilitation
About
Broken workplace relationships can create a toxic environment for the wider team. The effects of a brewing conflict extend out well beyond those directly involved.
As a result, you may lose valuable team members. Our approach is to resolve disputes early by facilitating conversations and restoring communication through a mana-enhancing process. This could include a restorative practice approach.
Facilitators create the right environment and process for constructive conversations to take place. They are neutral and their role is to guide parties to an agreement in an informal but assisted manner.
Facilitation provided early helps people explore and reach consensus on issues before positions become entrenched and a dispute ensues. The facilitation process can be very useful for individual matters or wider teams experiencing dynamic issues.
