Resolve Conflict through mediation

Why Mediate with HR Academy?

Dr. Benjamin Earwicker

Dr. Benjamin Earwicker, Ph.D., has successfully mediated dozens of employment law, organizational, and interpersonal disputes.  His empathetic approach to conflict and conflict resolution ensures the best potential for reaching agreement and a way forward.  Dr. Earwicker can help figure out root issues, navigate complex disputes, and assist the parties to reach a mutually acceptable outcome. 

Mediation goes by many names: alternate dispute resolution, conflict resolution, and more.  Unlike arbitration, though, mediation does not require the parties to comply with the decision of an arbiter.  In mediation, our experienced mediator facilitates conversation and guides the parties through a process that will hopefully result in a solution created by and for the parties themselves.  Nothing is required of the parties but willingness to engage and an openness to whatever solutions emerge.  Our mediator brings a fresh perspective and the tools to make that happen.
