“We have been hosting complimentary seminars for some time which explore the benefits of mediation and have always found them well attended by HR practitioners and business managers alike,” comments Alex Efthymiades, co-founder and Director of Consensio. “The difference we’ve noticed in the past six months is the demand from our delegates to understand and learn how best to present a business case for introducing mediation into the day-to-day practice of an organisation. As a result, we have revamped our seminars to focus more strongly on helping delegates make a solid business case for mediation.” It’s a sign of the economic times that such a spotlight is placed on the business case for what is clearly a beneficial and much needed intervention. A lot of people are currently feeling very uncertain at work, and this can lead to more tension and conflict within businesses.”
Consensio’s next complimentary seminar is being held on Wednesday 8 December in central London. For more information or to reserve a place, visit www.consensiopartners.co.uk
