Turning Conflict Into Consensus

We all experience conflict. Although most people think of conflict as a negative – and it can be, if it is not dealt with in a fair, effective manner – conflict also represents an opportunity for positive change. How things turn out is up to us, and usually depends more on how we react to conflict than on the conflict itself. HDR has solutions that can help you, your family, your company, or your organization engage conflicts, manage them better, and resolve them in ways that preserve and build relationships, create value, and promote synergy.

HDR offers mediation services, in which a qualified third-party neutral meets with you and the other people you are in conflict with and uses a structured process to help you resolve your dispute. Mediation is a time-tested and effective method of dispute resolution designed to protect the rights of the parties and their ability to arrive at self-determined solutions to their problems. For cases that involve legal rights or claims, it is much faster, simpler, and cheaper to use than going to court. For cases that do not involve legal rights and claims, mediation is an effective method for resolving even very complicated disputes.

HDR offers trainings and workshops that help participants build conflict management skills and get practical guidance they can use in their daily lives, workplaces, and communities. Our emphasis is on giving participants value for their time and information they can use to practical effect.

HDR offers consulting services to help individuals and companies deal with specific conflicts as well as build better systems for dealing with conflicts in the future. These services can be as varied as advising an individual involved in a particularly difficult negotiation, helping a company build a better employee grievance system, or helping a school or university implement a peer mediation program for its students.

Whatever type of assistance you need, HDR is here to help you engage conflicts and resolve them in effective, productive ways.
