Mediation is often an effective and rapid method to reach a satisfactory solution for all parties involved without the substantial costs, time and stress of a court procedure. Both parties jointly reach a successful solution instead of recourse to a court hearing with only one winner. Milestone can assist in obviating potential employment conflict situations. Mediation is always strictly confidential. This means that the contents of the mediation can not be used against the other party in litigation, in the unlikely event that no solution is reached.
During a mediation all interests of the parties can be brought forward and taken into account. Consequently also non-legal aspects can become part of the solution.
