Consulting Service
Independent chairing of private arbitration proceedings to provide a formal and professional forum for resolving significant workplace disputes.

Overview
Private arbitration provides a formal and professional forum for resolving significant workplace disputes outside the public dispute-resolution process. Thinasonke Consulting can chair private arbitration proceedings where both parties agree to appoint us to perform this role. Our role is independent. Thinasonke Consulting does not represent either party in the dispute. Instead, the appointed chairperson manages the arbitration process fairly and professionally, allowing the parties to present their respective positions and have the matter considered through an appropriate formal process. Private arbitration may be appropriate for workplace disputes where the parties require a more formal process and agree to appoint an independent chairperson.

Scope
Independent chairing of private arbitration proceedings where both parties agree to appoint Thinasonke Consulting to perform this role.
A formal and professional process through which the parties can present their respective positions and have the dispute considered.
A professional environment designed to support a fair, structured and independent approach to resolving significant workplace disputes.
Practical circumstances
Private arbitration may be considered where a significant workplace dispute requires a formal process and the parties agree that an independent person should chair the proceedings. It may be particularly appropriate where both parties prefer to use a private process and require an independent chairperson to manage the proceedings professionally. Appointment of Thinasonke Consulting to chair the arbitration must be agreed to by both parties.
Professional competence
Our approach to private arbitration is grounded in independence, professionalism and practical labour-relations experience. The chairperson's role is to remain independent of both parties and to manage the proceedings in a structured and professional manner. Thinasonke Consulting does not act as the representative of either party. Our role is to provide an independent forum in which the dispute can be considered through an appropriate arbitration process.
Outcomes
An appropriately structured private arbitration process can provide parties with a professional and independent forum for addressing significant workplace disputes.
