The Mediation Process

Blue Sky Mediation Center has developed a robust yet adaptable process for tackling employment discrimination disputes in San Jose. Our seasoned mediators shepherd you through each phase with professionalism and impartiality. The journey begins with an initial consultation, during which we gather insights from both the employer and employee perspectives. This crucial step lets our mediator grasp the core issues and concerns driving the dispute. We then coordinate mediation sessions at times that accommodate all participants’ schedules.

In preparation for mediation, we request that both parties submit relevant documentation pertaining to the alleged discriminatory incidents. Our mediator carefully reviews these materials to gain a comprehensive and unbiased understanding of the situation. When mediation day arrives, parties convene virtually or in person with the mediator. Following introductory statements, each side is afforded ample opportunity to present their viewpoint and describe the situation’s impact. The mediator poses clarifying questions to pinpoint the key areas of contention.

As needed, the mediator conducts private caucuses with each party to delve deeper into their interests and explore potential resolutions. Throughout these discussions, we maintain an atmosphere of respect and openness, allowing for frank and productive exchanges.

As areas of agreement begin to emerge, the mediator collaborates with both sides to craft a comprehensive settlement that addresses everyone’s concerns. We aim to facilitate negotiations that lead to a fair and lawful agreement, enabling all parties to move forward constructively. Our San Jose discrimination mediators prioritize your comfort and practical needs at every stage, fostering an environment conducive to honest dialogue and innovative problem-solving.
