The mediation process typically involves the following steps:
1. Initiation: A conflict is identified, and the parties agree to seek mediation. 2. Selection of Mediator: A neutral mediator is chosen, either by mutual agreement or through a designated service. 3. Preparation: The mediator gathers relevant information and prepares for the mediation session. 4. Mediation Session: The parties meet with the mediator, who facilitates a structured discussion aimed at understanding each party's perspective and finding common ground. 5. Resolution: If an agreement is reached, it is documented and implemented. If not, other dispute resolution methods may be considered.
