Exit-mediation bij arbeidsconflicten

What is exit mediation?

Exit-mediation is een vorm van arbeidsmediation waarbij het doel is om het dienstverband in goed overleg te beëindigen. Onder begeleiding van een neutrale MfN-registermediator worden afspraken gemaakt over de voorwaarden van vertrek, zoals de einddatum, vergoeding, opzegtermijn en communicatie.

The outcome is set forth in asettlement agreement (VSO). We ensure that this process proceeds smoothly, respectfully, and in a legally sound manner.

Why choose exit mediation?

• Less cost and time than legal proceedings
• More direction and influence for both parties
• Space for recognition, processing and completion
• Respectvol afscheid: werknemers vertrekken als ambassadeur
• Direct capture of agreements in the VSO

Our approach: three clear steps

1. Preparation & Review
We start with a review of the conflict and make space for the emotions and interests at play. This helps to keep the conversation open and realistic.

2. Determine direction
Is proceeding together not feasible? Then we help parties map out the terms of departure. Consider: notice period, work release, compensation, legal fees, vacation days, communication and reference.

3. Negotiation & Conclusion
The mediator tightly controls the process and helps parties (together with their advisors) reach workable agreements. These are recorded in a settlement agreement. If necessary, we schedule a session (physical or online) to come to a conclusion.
