 Dispute can occur when several people differ in opinion about something that is left
unresolved.
 In order to have an effective process of any organization, an impartial and balanced dispute
resolution process is important.

What is the aim of dispute resolution policies?

 The purpose of dispute resolution process is to reciprocate and evaluate information in

order to decide whether amendment or
revocation of discipline or there is a need to apply for other policy.

Consequently, there are three basic types of dispute resolution, namely:

1. Mediation

 The aim of mediation is for an unbiased third party to help disputants come to an
agreement.
 Mediation can be effectual to permit parties to let out their feelings and fully explore their
grievances.

2. Arbitration

> In arbitration, an impartial third party serves as a magistrate who is in charge of resolving the
dispute.

> The arbitrator listens as each side proclaim its case and give out pertinent evidence, then
provide an irrevocable decision.

> Arbitrators resolve conflicts that are mostly nonpublic and that cannot be appealed.

> On the other hand, like mediation, arbitration tends to be much cheaper than litigation.

3.Litigation

 It is the act or process, or practice of settling a dispute in a court of law.
