"Every human has four
endowments – self-awareness, conscience, independent will and
creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human
freedom...the power to choose, to respond, to change." Stephen
Covey
Change is a fact of life. Many find it stimulating, refreshing
and constructive, but there can be times when change is
challenging, tiring and not to our liking. The fourth event in
CEDR's Mediation Matters focused on how mediation can be used
as a tool to improve organisational life and how mediation can help
to embed a positive work culture within an organisation. Chaired by
CEDR Director and Mediator Fiona Colquhoun, the group of 30 HR
Directors, Managers and Lawyers, heard from panellists including
Sejal Raja, Partner and Head of Employment at RadcliffesLeBrasseur;
Derryth Wright, CEDR Mediator and Health & Safety and Wellbeing
Manager at Norfolk County Council; Patrick Gottry, CEDR Mediator
and Principal, Employee Relations at the European Bank
