Who gets a copy of the mediated agreement?
Because mediation is not litigation, the process is less formal though certainly no less effective. The Forte Institute contends mediation and conflict management training is much more effective because it takes into account the human factor of how people process and adapt to others. Best practice in mediation speaks to having only the parties at the mediation receive copies of their agreement. So your outcome remains between you and the other party. Your company requirements may vary, or parties may choose to share their agreement with a Supervisor, but those choices are made up front.
