Consensio’s Impressive Mid-Year Results Supports Trend Towards the Use of Workplace Mediation
August 27 2009 - Consensio, a leading conflict management and workplace mediation provider, today announces a highly profitable first half of 2009. This supports the trend towards the use of mediation and conflict resolution in the workplace.
The increased demand for mediation services and training is a result of the changes to the Employment Act which came into force in April of this year. The new ACAS Code of Practice encourages organisations to resolve disputes in-house and at an early stage. The use of either internal or external mediation is one method of conflict resolution identified in the Code. HR professionals have responded positively to this new mandate and as a result, have shown an increased interest in working with Consensio, either as an external mediation or accredited training provider.
"Consensio has provided me with a learning experience that surpassed my expectations. They are focused on delivering mediation training that meets the delegates’ different learning needs. It is clear that both Directors are very professional and experienced workplace mediators who convey learning with ease and are passionate about delegates becoming confident workplace mediators," said Helena Rolan Pitcher, HR of Drax Power.
Since the start of 2009, Consensio has increased its customer base by 420% and has continued to support its existing client base of private, public and third sector clients with a variety of training and mediation services.
"We are pleased to see that organisations across the UK have greeted the new Employment Act with interest and have responded positively to the use of mediation to resolve workplace conflict. Due to the increase in demand, Consensio has added additional dates for our accredited mediation course and we will launch a new course curriculum in the fall, which will be full of exciting courses to meet our clients’ needs," said Alex Efthymiades, Director of Consensio.
