Employment & Workplace Mediation
Employment cases are personal, stressful, and slow. Mediation gives an employee and an employer a confidential setting to reach terms — often a separation package, a reference, or a policy change — in far less time than a claim would take.
No public filing, no press coverage, and no permanent record of the accusation on either side.
Employment claims can take years to reach a hearing. A mediated agreement can be signed the same day.
Mediation can include things a court will not order — a neutral reference, a written apology, a changed policy.
How Mediation Works
No court filings, no endless discovery, no drawn-out procedures. Here's exactly what happens when you mediate with Bench Mediators.
Tell us what's going on in plain language. We'll explain whether mediation fits your situation, how it could work, and how fast it could move. No obligation, no legal jargon.
We reach out to the other party and invite them to the table. Mediation is voluntary — but most people say yes once they understand it keeps everyone in control and out of court. Everyone signs a simple agreement to mediate.
You meet with the mediator privately to share your side, your documents, and what a good outcome looks like for you. You'll know exactly what to expect before the main session.
Everyone meets by phone, video, or in person — together and in private breakout conversations — with the mediator guiding the negotiation. Many disputes settle in a single session. You stay in control; nothing is decided for you.
When you reach a deal, it's put in writing as a binding settlement agreement. You leave with closure, certainty, and a result you chose — not one imposed on you.
