the Professional chamber of Mediation and Negotiation
00:00:10
begins with individual discussions between the parties
00:00:14
involved in the conflict and the mediator.
00:00:17
Then the parties will meet always in the presence of the mediator
00:00:21
who will help them find their own solution to the dispute.
00:00:25
Professional mediation is developing more and more within the company itself.
00:00:31
In this video,
00:00:32
let's describe the advantages of mediation
00:00:35
and the role of the mediator.
00:00:38
What are the advantages of mediation?
00:00:41
The company,
00:00:42
whatever its size or organization,
00:00:44
is a place where interests diverge,
00:00:47
where personalities clash,
00:00:49
which inevitably gives rise to conflict.
00:00:52
Individual conflicts.
00:00:54
Or collective within a team or between two
00:00:57
services or between the hierarchy and the employees,
00:01:01
conflicts concerning the organization of work,
00:01:03
remuneration,
00:01:05
the ability to work together
00:01:07
when not quickly and firmly resolved,
00:01:09
these conflicts reduce performance and give rise to situations of harassment,
00:01:15
burnout,
00:01:16
psychosocial risks,
00:01:18
and other suffering at work.
00:01:20
Prevention systems have emerged within companies.
00:01:24
Protagonists such as the social worker,
00:01:27
occupational doctor,
00:01:28
or elected staff representatives are supportive and solid support
00:01:33
for conflict resolution.
00:01:35
Mediation and the mediator also bring
00:01:38
essential added value to conflict resolution.
00:01:42
They can also facilitate a process of change
00:01:46
and facilitate the termination of an employment contract.
00:01:50
Mediation can also intervene in the pre-litigation phase.
00:01:55
Employees can recourse to conventional mediation for
00:01:59
any dispute related to an employment contract.
00:02:02
One of the advantages of mediation
00:02:04
is the neutrality of the mediator.
00:02:07
A real mediation involves a completely neutral third party.
00:02:13
The more neutral they are,
00:02:14
the more the parties will trust them and not raise any resistance.
00:02:19
As soon as the mediator is the manager or simply a member of the company
00:02:24
who wants the conflict to end for the good of the company which pays them,
00:02:29
then neutrality has lost some stripes.
00:02:32
That doesn't mean it will be impossible.
00:02:34
The involved mediator will have to pay particular attention
00:02:38
to their impartiality and to keep their independence,
00:02:42
despite the inevitable pressures of their professional entourage.
00:02:47
This internal mediator must also ensure that
00:02:50
the parties trust them to be impartial.
00:02:54
If trust is broken,
00:02:55
if one of the two parties no longer believes in their neutrality,
00:03:00
I invite you to change your mediator.
00:03:03
Second advantage,
00:03:05
time and money gain.
00:03:07
Whether the conflict is of a technical,
00:03:10
legal,
00:03:10
or relational nature.
00:03:13
Using the tools of mediation
00:03:15
in the professional field will allow many conflicts to be resolved.
00:03:19
When everyone stands firm and when the aggressiveness has emerged,
00:03:23
it is time to seek mediation.
00:03:26
It will save you time
00:03:27
and money.
00:03:28
It will avoid you many problems.
00:03:31
It will help to restore a positive social climate,
00:03:34
a healthy working atmosphere,
00:03:36
and cooperation in the team affected by a conflict.
00:03:40
Now let's explore the four major roles of the mediator,
00:03:45
bringing sanity,
00:03:46
promoting constructive exchanges,
00:03:49
formalizing the compromise,
00:03:51
unblocking dead ends.
00:03:53
1,
00:03:54
bringing back sanity.
00:03:56
When conflict breaks out,
00:03:58
the emotions quickly take over.
00:04:01
Emotions are involved,
00:04:03
anger,
00:04:04
pain,
00:04:05
fear.
00:04:06
Reason is clouded by so many emotions,
00:04:08
and
00:04:09
intolerance takes over.
00:04:11
Parties often retreat into simplistic,
00:04:14
dualistic thinking such as this is unfair.
00:04:17
It's up to him to give in.
00:04:19
If I give in,
00:04:20
I'll lose my honor.
00:04:21
I'm right,
00:04:22
and he's wrong.
00:04:23
The mediator will help them first to bring
00:04:27
out those emotions that are blinding them.
00:04:30
They will freely express their emotions and
00:04:33
frustrations in individual interviews with the mediator.
00:04:37
They could also be able to later express their emotions in plenary session,
00:04:43
the mediator making sure there is no attack from the other party.
00:04:47
When the emotions can be expressed,
00:04:49
reason and logic can make their way more simply.
00:04:53
The mediator can help the parties to put the dispute in context.
00:04:58
Let everyone understand what the real crux of the problem is,
00:05:02
and stay focused on it.
00:05:04
Stay focused on the issue and not on the people.
00:05:08
The mediator will in fact take care to avoid scattering and secondary discussions
00:05:15
in order to refocus the parties on the search for a solution.
00:05:20
Above all,
00:05:21
it will help them gain height in targeting what their priorities are.
00:05:26
It will help them express what is essential and secondary
00:05:30
until they come to an agreement.
00:05:33
Another role of the mediator promoting constructive exchanges.
00:05:38
The mediator embodies
00:05:41
an irreproachable model of communication.
00:05:44
It regulates the exchanges between the parties.
00:05:47
It promotes dialogue and creates a climate of listening and goodwill.
00:05:52
Let everyone be able to express themselves,
00:05:55
even daring to express the famous unspoken words
00:05:58
that sometimes block resolution.
00:06:01
The mediator is responsible for the roles of communication,
00:06:05
allowing everyone to express themselves equally,
00:06:08
speaking in their name using the eye,
00:06:11
limiting interruptions,
00:06:13
avoiding complaints,
00:06:15
avoiding personal attacks and other escalations,
00:06:18
refocusing the debates during slippages.
00:06:21
They thus work to make people feel comfortable and
00:06:24
confident and let go of their weapons and armor.
00:06:28
By questioning and reformulating,
00:06:30
they put erroneous perceptions and interpretations into perspective.
00:06:35
Most of the time,
00:06:37
the parties interpreted negatively what the other did or said,
00:06:41
but no,
00:06:41
that was not what I meant at all.
00:06:43
Ah,
00:06:44
I understand now why you feel so hurt.
00:06:47
This is what my intention was.
00:06:50
Putting clarity on facts and intentions will wash away
00:06:54
the many negative projections and will heal wounds.
00:06:59
Third role of the mediator
00:07:01
formalizing the compromise.
00:07:03
When returns to reason and constructive dialogue have
00:07:06
made it possible to find an agreement,
00:07:09
the mediator helps the parties to re-formalize it.
00:07:13
Mediation is successful if people are involved and empowered to
00:07:18
the point of finding the solution to their dispute themselves.
00:07:22
This agreement will allow people to work together again in confidence.
00:07:28
In some more extreme cases,
00:07:30
the agreement will consist of a change in the scope
00:07:33
of activity or a consensual termination of the relationship.
00:07:38
The mediator helps to clarify the agreement,
00:07:41
to summarize it,
00:07:43
to decide on its implementation and action plan
00:07:47
to make the deal solid,
00:07:48
they help draft a written contract or letter of intent.
00:07:52
They also ensure that the follow up is planned,
00:07:56
which will validate whether the agreement is OK for everyone and is bearing fruit.
00:08:01
Finally,
00:08:02
they ensure that a time for renegotiation is possible if necessary.
00:08:07
Finally,
00:08:08
the last role of the mediator contributing through the method
00:08:13
and its know-how to unblock
00:08:15
the dead ends that will pave the way to resolution.
00:08:19
Jean Portra,
00:08:20
expert in mediation,
00:08:22
recognizes three dead ends the refusal to participate in mediation,
00:08:27
in which case he recommends either offering to give it
00:08:29
a try or exploring the real reasons for the resistance.
00:08:34
Second,
00:08:35
the emotional overflow,
00:08:37
in which case.
00:08:37
He recommends having the emotions verbalized and or explaining how
00:08:42
the resolution will relieve the emotions in a lasting way.
00:08:47
Third,
00:08:48
the refusal to compromise,
00:08:50
in which case he recommends either to show how
00:08:53
the conflict is much more expensive than its resolution,
00:08:56
or to confront the real reasons for the refusal to compromise.
00:09:01
Here we are.
00:09:02
We have described the advantages of mediation
00:09:06
and the role of the mediator,
00:09:08
bringing reason,
00:09:09
promoting constructive exchanges,
00:09:11
formalizing the compromise,
00:09:13
unblocking dead ends.
00:09:15
Obviously extensive training in mediation will allow you
00:09:19
to explore the tools of mediation with concrete cases
00:09:23
until becoming the master of all the dead ends of the conflict.
