Invitation to Mediate for CP
The EEOC Mediation Program:
Your Partner in Workplace Solutions!
We invite you to participate in the EEOC’s Mediation Program to efficiently resolve your Charge of Discrimination. Mediation is a no-cost, voluntary, and confidential opportunity for both parties to work with a neutral mediator to discuss and resolve the EEOC Charge before an investigation of the Charge.Here are five reasons you should participate:
It’s fair and confidential – The mediator is a neutral facilitator who helps the parties find a solution to the problem. All discussions with the mediator are strictly confidential and are NOT part of the EEOC’s investigation of the charge.
It provides a GLOBAL resolution to the charge – Mediation allows you to address all of your employment concerns, not just those discussed in the charge. It is an open forum that allows the parties to discuss any additional issues that the parties wish to resolve.
You CONTROL the outcome – The mediator will work with you to identify the best options that exist to resolve your charge at this early stage. You will determine what options are workable and you are free to accept or reject any options.
It’s FREE and EFFECTIVE – There is no cost to mediate your case. EEOC resolves more than 75% of the charges it mediates. And, more than 96% of parties surveyed say they would choose to mediate again in the future. If mediation doesn’t resolve the charge, then EEOC determines whether to proceed further with an investigation.
