Most claims brought against United Educators (UE) members will be dismissed or settled before going to trial. Many settlements are achieved through mediation, allowing the parties to negotiate through a neutral third party. Learn strategies to make mediations effective.

This episode covers:

• Deciding whether to hold a joint session
• Managing “bracketing” of settlement offers and counteroffers
• Identifying creative nonmonetary ways to facilitate settlement

Among those who should listen: Risk Managers, Legal Counsel, Human Resources Professionals, Financial Office Personnel, and Administrators.
