What is Reconciliation?

What is Conciliation?

Reconciliation is the actions taken by reconcile, or make peace and amends with someone. Through dedicated efforts, active listening and a spirit of forgiveness, reconciliation can restore longstanding disputants back to a state of friendly relations - and perhaps renewed friendships. 

Conciliation is similar to the traditional mediation process. However, while many mediators prescribe to a facilitative style where they merely try to provide a forum conducive for the parties to find common ground and resolution, conciliation allows for the designated neutral to provide input and suggestions that can help the parties avoid impasse and reach agreement.

Reconciliation-Focused Conciliation Process

At Workplace Dignity Center, we understand that some disputes require more than just a few hours of mediation. Our reconciliation-focused conciliation process extends over several days to weeks, allowing us to delve deep into the complexities of workplace conflicts. By engaging with all parties involved, including management and human resources, we collaboratively work towards sustainable solutions that address the root causes of tension and foster a culture of dignity and respect.


Conciliation Counsel are both peacemaker and advocate, with a laser focus on finding fair resolutions amidst deep conflict. They seek to conciliate resolutions in a collaborative way, helping the parties focus on attacking the problem rather than each other.

  • How long are the workshops/training sessions?

    Sessions are completely customizable. They can last from as short as one-hour to a week-long short course on the why's behind reconciliation and the how's regarding the steps in the conciliation process.

  • Who is the target audience?

    Sessions can be tailored for different audiences, and have been delivered to Board of Trustees, to human resource professionals, to legal officers, and even to individual contributors and middle management.

  • Are Conciliation Counsel licensed attorneys?

    Many of the counsel are attorneys, specialized in both employment law and dispute resolution techniques. Those who are not attorneys are referred to as Conciliation Specialists and are contracted out at a lower price point.

  • How does Conciliation Counsel differ from an Ombuds?

    While both professionals attempt to work outside of the traditional organizational chart structure to preserve a sense of neutrality, Conciliation Counsel are independent contractors who not only engage in dispute resolution, but also tend to assist with employee trainings and even neutral fact-finding investigations.
