A work environment should be a place that promotes growth and productivity, thus decreasing costs and increasing profit.  IAI consultants help identify corporate needs and develop a customized plan of action for reducing or preventing costs associated with employee conflict and turnover in your business. 

We apply the mediation process to develop a positive work culture that employees will enforce with peers.

We have developed our own model of Multicultural Mediation as an experiential form of diversity training, where every participant is both teacher and student.

Naturally, we mediate Personnel Grievance Disputes between employees or supervisors and employees.

IAI has extensive experience in Multiparty Mediation of workgroups, teams, inter- and intra-departmental conflicts. We have mediated departments of 65 people who were on round the clock shifts that had been in conflict for 8+ years, had run off 6 directors due to the informal power of the employees and within a matter of weeks, had developed a positive team culture enforced by fellow employees. We've settled disputes between departments that had existed for 3 years in only 2 days! Read the comment of the CFO who referred this dispute:

"It has been almost a year and I haven't heard a single complaint out of anyone in either department. Before your mediation, I had someone from one or both departments in my office complaining almost every day. I will certainly call on you again if the need ever arises in a different area, but it looks like this issue is finally over, and you helped me save both managers who are extremely valuable to our organization! They are now actually allies instead of enemies! Thanks so much!" - Chief Financial Officer
