The EEOC will host a webinar June 27 starting at 1 Eastern time on “Navigating the Federal Sector Hearings Process” featuring EEOC administrative judges and other experts.
Topics will include litigating before an EEOC administrative judge; best practices in alternative dispute resolution; and federal sector case law updates. Participation will be creditable toward several HR and federal counselor or investigator certifications.
ADR best practices generally include utilizing mediators or arbitrators, who are familiar with the dispute and its underlying issues. Mediation is often preferred over other forms of ADR since it is more collaborative and often less expensive. Additionally, ADR best practices involve utilizing rules of procedure that are clear and understandable and outlining expectations for the parties.
With ADR confidentiality is maintained throughout the process, adapting the process when necessary to fit the needs of the parties, and providing resources and support for the parties before, during, and after the process. When successful ADR results in a binding decision or agreement that the parties are expected to follow.
The EEOC practices ADR by providing mediation services that are free and voluntary, offering services such as individual assessment, conciliation, and facilitation.
