Workplace conflicts may include bullying, partnership breakups, wrongful termination, sexual harassment, discrimination, cultural diversity issues, compensation, poor work performance, and difficulties associated with the change in management or downsizing.
The goal of workplace mediation is to create a better work environment by maintaining and improving relationships between management, staff and co-workers. Mediation allows businesses to address conflicts quickly and maintain their good reputations by keeping disputes outside of the courts and the public eye. Mediation sessions are usually conducted off site to create a confidential and private setting without fear that co-workers will have knowledge of this session. This atmosphere allows the parties to openly discuss the conflict and jointly find a workable solution which addresses each parties concern. As a result of mediation, job satisfaction is increased, the high cost of litigation is reduced, personality clashes are reduced and teamwork and productivity are increased. Mediation is a win-win solution to conflict.

Community mediation can involve landlords and tenants, condominium, co-ops, businesses, neighbors, and housemates. Community conflicts may include property damage, harassment, environmental and development issues, zoning conflicts, barking dog, noise, and the upkeep of property.
In addition to helping members of a community solve their individual conflicts, community mediation can also unite an entire community. Mediation allows all of the parties involved to work together in the decision making process and to arrive at a workable solution.
