Employment mediation or negotiating an exit

Sometimes an employment relationship breaks down and the priority becomes reaching a fair outcome — without months of stress and uncertainty.

If you’re in a workplace dispute, considering a settlement, or you want help negotiating an exit, you can book a free, confidential discussion to talk things through.

No obligation • Confidential • Employee-focused

What this often looks like

People often get in touch when:

  • They’ve been told the situation “isn’t working out” and an exit is being suggested

  • Their employer has raised concerns and they’re considering resignation or a settlement

  • They’re in an ongoing conflict with a manager or colleague and want a practical resolution

  • The workplace feels toxic or unsafe and continuing is no longer realistic

  • They’ve been offered a settlement agreement and don’t know whether it’s fair

  • They want to resolve matters through mediation rather than a formal process

  • They want support communicating with the employer and negotiating terms

Mediation and negotiated outcomes can often be a way to reduce stress and uncertainty — especially when the working relationship is unlikely to recover.

What your rights may be

Every situation is different, but employees generally have the right to be treated fairly and to make informed decisions before agreeing to an outcome.

The right to make an informed decision

1

If you’re considering resignation, a settlement, or signing an agreement, it’s important to understand what it means and what options you may have. A decision made under pressure or without clarity can create problems later.

The right to fair and reasonable treatment

2

Even where an employer wants to end the relationship, they are generally expected to act reasonably and follow fair processes. How the situation has been handled may be relevant when negotiating an outcome.

The right to confidentiality

3

Mediation and settlement discussions are generally handled confidentially. This can help parties discuss resolution options more openly and safely.

The right to negotiate terms

4

You don’t have to decide immediately. Often, the best next step is simply to understand your position and options before you respond to anything.
