Employment mediations are usually set up by external legal advisors and are used when an employee or former employee and an employer are in a legal dispute and need to negotiate a compromise agreement.
They’re typically completed in just a day, using the same format as a standard commercial mediation.

Discrimination

Harassment, bullying and victimisation
Unfair and wrongful dismissal
Senior executive exits and board level disputes
Remuneration, performance-related pay and bonuses
