The mediation process typically involves several steps:
Initiation: One or both parties agree to seek mediation and select a mediator. Preparation: The mediator meets with both parties separately to understand the issues at hand. Joint Sessions: Both parties come together to discuss their concerns and viewpoints under the mediator's guidance. Resolution: The mediator helps the parties to negotiate and reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Finalization: The agreement is documented, and both parties commit to the terms.
