ABOUT THE COMPANY
Intercede offers Mediation and Dispute Resolution Services to businesses and organizations in the Atlantic Provinces.
Ongoing, unresolved conflict can cause significant costs to morale, productivity and the bottom line. This is especially true for small businesses that may not have the desire, or financial capacity, to bring in legal representation to solve every dispute. Intercede aims to offer affordable third-party mediation services along with conflict management training and customized conflict coaching. The goal is to help organizations reach interest-based, mutually workable solutions to conflicts between business partners, employees, managers, suppliers or even customers, so the business, and its people, can get back to business – quickly.
