New ADR HUB Hosts Arbitration and Mediation Webinar

What is the process of mediation and arbitration – what is trying to be accomplished? Primarily, mediators, arbitrators, and advocates handle information and evidence in different ways in an effort to resolve a dispute. What comes out is filtered to the extent that parties share pieces and parts of the whole, and the mediator or arbitrator brings a specific lens to those limited details.

That focus in alternative dispute resolution was the basis of a recent webinar, which was hosted by Katrina Nobles, Director of Conflict Programs and Ellen Gallin Procida Director of Labor Management-Relations Programs at the Institute.   The webinar explored how the filtering of information and the lens the parties and the neutral bring to the table includes unconscious and implicit bias, and further impacts process and outcomes.    

The webinar was an outreach initiative of the Institute’s new Employment and Labor ADR HUB.

The ADR HUB will be a destination for arbitrators, mediators, other neutrals, advocates, and practioners to discuss current issues impacting the field of dispute resolution.
