Workplace Mediation and Facilitation

All participants in mediation start out meeting separately, usually remotely on Zoom, and only meet together if requested. Sometimes it is not necessary for participants to meet together, and other times joint or group sessions are profoundly creative opportunities to practice communication agreements and work toward desired outcomes.

Mediation is based on consent, acknowledgment of power dynamics involved, and honoring the gut-brain connection. Participants may take breaks, are encouraged to enforce boundaries, and are given opportunities to be accountable for creating the results they want.

Through the mediation process workplaces typically:

Evaluate systems that may contribute to confusion around boundaries and expectations.
Assess social power dynamics that may contribute to workplace conflict.
Engage in post-conflict growth and productive accountability.

When I first began mediation, I felt hurt and worried that I might lose a leader I respected from the organization. Meredith was terrific in her ability to make me -- and I assume the other person involved -- feel safe and supported while bringing us toward a greater understanding of each other.

The outcome was beyond imaginable. I left the mediation session excited to move forward in partnership with my valued staff member and with a far deeper and more nuanced understanding of how to support BIPOC staff. I feel like I have a new lease on life and many more tools in my management toolbox. I can not sing Meredith's praises loudly enough. She is worth her weight in gold. It was money well spent!

- Kim Callinan, President & CEO of Compassion & Choices.

Before hiring Meredith I received a complaint from an employee that another employee had sexually harassed him. I wanted to take care of my employees and customers, and I was afraid I would do or say something that would make things worse. I was afraid I would have to fire someone. Even though I felt compassion for the employee who complained, the accused employee denied the allegations and I was not sure who to believe.

After working with Meredith, both employees made big shifts. We implemented policies to keep our workplace safe. After a few weeks of work, both employees apologized to each other for their part in a complicated situation, and they agreed they could continue to work together professionally and safely.

I have been training and working in the STEM field for over 20 years, in both academia and industry. I came to Meredith at a point when I felt I was being unfairly penalized and discriminated against in my job because of my gender.

I think it is fair to say that most women accumulate years of both personal and professional experiences of sexual harassment and misogyny. It can feel hopeless and powerless.

The IMPACT process and coaching are a part of the healing process from experiencing job discrimination. Meredith is helping me re-shape how I view the challenges I face being a woman in a male-dominated career.

As I am now raising my own daughter, I want to help shape her beliefs about herself. I want her generation of women to have a different way of walking through the misogyny in our culture. It’s empowering to change the way I interact with misogynistic behavior. Not only does it set me (and other women) up for future success, but it is something I can look back on and say I did my part and have no regrets.

I kind of went into a deep, stressful place. I wasn’t functioning very well.

I was afraid to lose my job and didn't know the areas of support I would need to recover... they went well beyond legal assistance, though that is crucial. Meredith's empowering coaching style allowed me to gain new skills and push my limits. As a result, I am now more confident at work and beyond. I was able to keep my job and continue to do the work I care about.

I had to get on my feet and be able to be confident in myself after feeling like the bottom had fallen out for me. I like who I am now more than I liked who I was before the harassment even started.

Before hiring Meredith, I was sad and literally despondent. I felt like no one was in my corner and that doom was around the corner.

I'd say this program was one of the most important things I've ever done in my life. I'm so grateful that I was able to take part in this program. If you're facing a difficult situation and you feel like there is no way up, you can't afford not to take the course. It's an investment in yourself.

I know this program isn't meant to replace any existing therapies, but for me it was more helpful than any therapist, friend, partner, family member etc. EVER for improving my outlook on life.

Prior to my personality interpretation (formerly the Genius program), despite no longer experiencing daily mistreatment and workplace discrimination, I found myself osculating between feeling nothing and being overwhelmed with anxiety. I had decided to make myself small in order to move forward. The personality interpretation helped me see myself so that I can maximize how I show up in the world. Discussions helped me decide to leave a position that was making me miserable. Life is too short to suffer through professional experiences 'just because.'

"Before joining the program I was in a rut--some might even call it a ditch. I was discouraged, let down, and couldn't see a way out of the emotional and financial place I was in.

"Because of this lapse in work I stopped believing in myself. I couldn't see a way out of the rut I was in but I also started to tie my personal value to my inability to find employment. I started to believe the lie the universe/society seemed to be telling me: that I wasn't fit for work.

"I'm now almost done with my first year of law school. I have the ability to overcome daily challenges and to keep myself focus on the 'bigger picture' that we worked towards through the program."

Workplace Investigation

Sometimes, investigations may be necessary in a workplace conflict situation.

Oregon law requires investigations to be conducted by licensed investigators. Our office works with licensed investigators to include legally sufficient investigations where necessary to resolve work environment problems.

Our office only handles workplace investigations if they are part of larger work environment solutions. Where reports and complaints are present, systemic solutions can restore the workplace to a thriving place with or without investigation.

Email info@erisresolution.com or call 458-221-2671 with any questions about workplace investigations.
