Ever wondered what really happens behind closed doors in a workplace mediation?

 

Join us for an immersive, behind-the-scenes experience where law meets leadership in a live, interactive Mock Mediation Workshop designed specifically for HR professionals and managers.

Led by experienced employment lawyers (Gallaway Cook Allan Lawyers) and an accredited mediator, (Kelly O’Kane) this session will:

  •  Demystify the mediation process – from pre-mediation prep to post-resolution follow-up

  •  Showcase a real-world HR scenario – acted out in real time

  •  Invite your participation – ask questions, share insights, and explore strategies in a safe, collegial environment

Whether you're new to mediation or a seasoned HR leader, this workshop will deepen your understanding of how to navigate workplace disputes with clarity, empathy, and legal insight.

Spaces are limited – secure your spot today and gain a front-row seat to the art of resolution
