Mediation
One of the newest additional services we're most excited about in 2021 is our new Mediation benefit.
We have partnered with all five Hawaii Mediation Centers to provide our covered employees with a free 30-minute Intake Session to explore the benefits of Mediation for your situation.
Mediation is a confidential, informal process where a neutral third party (the mediator) can help parties in conflict:
- Talk through your differences,
- Explore and negotiate options in a safe environment,
- Decide how to resolve their dispute, and
- Craft an agreement you both can live with that is fair, realistic, and durable.
Mediation services are voluntary and require all parties to negotiate in good faith. If one party does not want to participate, the mediation cannot occur.
Trained mediators make sure the process is safe and respectful for all involved.
No paperwork or documentation is provided unless all parties agree.
Mediators cannot be subpoenaed or required to testify in court; nor can any paperwork or records be used in court unless it is a document all parties agree to and sign.
The most commonly mediated issues are:
- Domestic Issues (Divorce agreements and Child custody/visitation/parenting plans)
- Landlord/Tenant Issues
- Condominium and Real Estate
- Consumer / Merchant Issues
- Family and Friend Struggles
- Co-worker Issues
- Neighbor and Pet Issues
- And many others
We have partnered with all five non-profit Mediation Centers across Hawaii:
The Mediation Center of the Pacific (Oahu)
Maui Mediation Center
Ku'ikahi Mediation Center (East Hawaii)
West Hawaii Mediation Center
Kauai Economic Opportunity Mediation Program
If you decide after your initial free Mediation Intake Session that mediation would work for you, all five non-profit Mediation Centers offer low cost services.
Successful mediation cases can save you thousands of dollars (even tens of thousands of dollars) in attorney fees and court costs!
