Employment Dispute Resolution Programs

ADR Group International, LLC (ADRGI) works with organizations, their legal departments, and their law firms to design and implement dispute resolution programs to prevent, manage, and resolve conflict and litigation, on both a case-by-case basis and on an enterprise-wide basis.  Multi-mechanism dispute resolution programs, which are particularly effective in dealing with employment disputes, provide a high level of employee and company satisfaction.  We offer innovative consulting services to provide an organization with the tools it needs to create and maintain an effective employee dispute management strategy through the implementation of a tailor-made employment dispute resolution program.

 

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is constantly examining the employee dispute handling mechanisms utilized by companies.  Those companies with a positive philosophy and reputation for fair complaint management hold a competitive edge in the global marketplace.  The organizations that will emerge at the forefront will take a more proactive and positive stance with regard to their employment complaints and disputes through the implementation of a program that incorporates multi-step complaint handling mechanisms.

Examples of ADR mechanisms in the employment context include hotlines, negotiation, facilitation, conciliation, ombuds, mediation, neutral expert fact-finding, and arbitration.
