Frequently Asked Questions

What types of workplace disputes do you mediate?

grievances
return-to-work and accommodation matters
interpersonal conflict
harassment and discrimination allegations
collective agreement interpretation
union-management disputes.

She provides bilingual labour and employment mediation services to both public and private sector organizations across Ontario and Quebec.

Who can request mediation?

Mediation can be requested by employers, unions, legal counsel, or human resources professionals. In many cases, both parties agree to mediation, but Chantal can also assist in situations where one party initiates the request and the other agrees to participate.

We’ve already tried talking: how is mediation different?

Unlike informal discussions, mediation is a structured and confidential process guided by a neutral third party. Chantal’s role is to help parties clarify their interests, surface underlying issues, and explore new pathways to resolution that may not have emerged in earlier conversations.

Even when communication has broken down, mediation can re-establish a constructive dynamic, especially with the assistance of a proven mediator.

Can we bring legal counsel, human resources professionals, union representatives or a support person to mediation?

Yes, parties are welcome to be accompanied by legal counsel, human resources professionals, union representatives or other support people.

How long does the mediation process take?

Chantal resolves most matters in a single session, typically lasting a half or full day. More complex disputes may require follow-up sessions. She focuses on maintaining momentum while ensuring that all parties feel heard and respected.

Is mediation confidential?

Yes. Mediation is strictly confidential. Nothing said during mediation is disclosed outside the session, unless required by law or agreed to by both parties. Chantal ensures that pre-mediation confidentiality agreements are signed prior to the commencement of a mediation or med-arb.

What if there’s a power imbalance or emotional tension?

As a trauma-informed mediator, Chantal is attuned to power dynamics and emotional sensitivity. She creates a safe space where all participants feel heard, supported, and respected, regardless of their role or background. The process is carefully managed to ensure a balanced opportunity for input from all sides.

What if the mediation doesn’t lead to full agreement?

While not every mediation results in a complete settlement, many lead to partial agreements, clearer understanding, or a significant narrowing of issues.

These outcomes often reduce the need for formal litigation or arbitration. Chantal has successfully helped resolve hundreds of cases through facilitated mediations, med-arb and neutral evaluations, including complex disputes that initially seemed intractable.

Do you offer bilingual mediation services?

Yes. Chantal offers mediation services in both English and French. Sessions can be fully bilingual and adapted to participants’ language preferences.
