Alternative Dispute Resolution and Mediation
Presented By: Ira David (bio)
February's topic will be "Alternative Dispute Resolution and Mediation." Even for seasoned HR Professionals, Alternative Dispute Resolution (aka ADR), especially mediation, is not well understood. However, incorporation of some form of ADR into many organization's HR practices have become more common in recent years. ADR provides some quantifiable advantages to organizations.
This presentation will discuss the different types of ADR, particularly mediation, under what circumstances each might be an effective alternative to litigation or other action and why. HR Professionals and Senior Leadership of all types of organizations will come away with a better understanding of the alternatives, as well as the pros and cons of each, including when each is applicable, or to be avoided.

He then joined the American Arbitration Association panel of arbitrators, the Nevada Foreclosure Mediation Program panel of mediators, and the American Arbitration Association panel of mediators. In the last five years, he has handled nearly three hundred mediation and arbitration cases. As of January of this year, he joined with Ileana Drobkin, who has over two hundred mediations under her belt, and formed ID Mediations, LLC, an independent mediation services firm offering dispute resolution in Nevada and surrounding states.
