The purpose of this article is to explore the benefits of
Alternative Dispute Resolution in the work place mediation.
ADR is a process and procedure that provides alternatives to
adjudicated settlement and institutional framework of
conflict. It is revolutionizing the whole court system in
many countries, although most people are not committed to
it.
A trusted judicial structure is of importance to the
legitimacy of ensuring justice. However, as the
dissatisfaction continues to grow in administration of
justice in the court systems, we need a model that provides
a new arena where parties can manage their own disputes.
Key words:
Third party, mediation, negotiation, arbitration,
litigation, alternative dispute resolution, disputes,
dispute settlements, conflict management,
corporate culture. |
