We act as neutral, impartial third parties in civil, commercial and workplace matters.

Our vision: Prevention is as important as dispute resolution.

Setting up appropriate methods of dispute prevention and resolution (DPR) means tailoring the processes chosen to meet the needs of the parties involved, while enabling the organization to achieve its mission.

Acting in dispute prevention and resolution means :

Fostering commitment

Promote the commitment of individuals and groups to resolving their own problem situations, by maximizing awareness-raising, coaching and training activities.

Act as quickly as possible

Act as quickly as possible on the slightest report of any difficult relational situation, whether or not it resembles harassment.

Encouraging communication

Encourage direct communication, dialogue and collaboration between the parties involved in the dispute, at any stage of the handling process.

Identify and intervene on risk factors

Identify and intervene on risk factors (relational, structural or organizational) that fuel the escalation of relational tensions.

Use proportional methods and procedures

Implement procedures and methods commensurate with the nature of the issues at stake and the complexity of the problems.

Adopt conflict management procedures

Adopt policies and procedures based on conflict management rather than complaint handling.

Putting a stop to harassment

Identify and put an end to situations of psychological harassment in accordance with the best practices of mediation and investigation, using neutral, independent and competent third parties, when a report or complaint, considered admissible, is received by a person in authority.

Using collaborative resolution methods

Consider, at all stages of dealing with situations of incivility, conflict or harassment, the possibility of using collaborative resolution methods (assisted dialogue, facilitation, mediation).

High ethical and deontological standards that encourage buy-in

Our ethical and deontological standards encourage transparency and full disclosure of sensitive information by stakeholders, as well as their adherence to the various settlement procedures implemented by our professionals.
