Mediation

Our trained mediators can work with employees in conflict with or without a grievance, although the earlier we can provide a mediation intervention the better. The process on site takes 1 day with some preparation beforehand and is outcomes focused. Mediation is a highly cost effective intervention for bullying situations with better outcomes over other interventions.

Coaching

Intervention Coaching– Aimed at all parties within a situation, we provide coaching as required to bring the parties to agreement, resolution and change. This is not mediation, we do not seek to solve just the presenting issue – we help employees understand their own and each other’s behaviour and reactions. Our coaching leads them to change, avoiding the behaviours recurring or perpetuating. Our outcomes are based on real change so where unacceptable behaviour persists, we coach and advise on next steps including exit with dignity.

Coaching Abrasive Leaders– Many organisations have that one person who causes disruption and distress in the business. Whether called a bully or not, they are often a great performer or deemed untouchable. This strategy from America has had great success providing demonstrable change in 3-4 sessions and we are the only specialist provider of this service in the UK.

Team Turnaround– We work with dysfunctional teams with behaviour, culture, performance or attendance problems, and some teams have all four! This is a hybrid training/coaching program to turn them around to productive, healthy, present and resilient as effectively and quickly as possible. This is a bespoke offer dependent on the issues.

Bullying Trauma Treatment– Unfortunately some workplace bullying cases cause injury including stress, anxiety, depression and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Our PTSD specialist psychotherapist has an NHS background and experienced in treating those affected by bullying.
