Highlights
Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) can be a critical tool in resolving disputes, maintaining employee happiness and culture, and mitigating the risk that comes with being involved in a gig economy or temporary workforce company. But often ADR programs are fragmented, depend on the location of the neutrals, and do not focus on scalability and uniformity.
Having a national ADR program that uses both mediation and arbitration, or even a combination of both, can provide employees with a sense of fairness, eliminating perceptions of bias. This also can allow employers to focus on their processes and streamline procedures to help eliminate the distractions and reduced productivity that often come with litigation. An ADR program also might help keep your company out of court. Listen to attorneys and ADR professionals discuss these matters and explain how a national ADR program can help you.
During this webinar, attendees will learnÂ
- Why using purely regional neutrals and a more fragmented, non-uniform ADR process can result in employee skepticism and disparate results and can take more time, money, and bandwidth than necessary
- Why a national ADR program can create uniformity and scalability across an organization while giving employees and contractors a better sense of the process and better understanding of why it is fair
- How to use the different types of ADR by themselves or in conjunction to resolve disputes quickly, efficiently, and cost effectively
- How to set up a national ADR program and what should be included
