For Employees
Be heard, keep your dignity, find a way forward.
Raising a workplace issue can feel risky. Mediation gives you a safe, neutral space to be heard and to work toward a solution — without having to go to war with your employer to get there.
Your rights in British Columbia
The BC Human Rights Code protects you from discrimination at work on grounds including disability, and your employer has a Duty to Accommodate genuine needs to the point of Undue Hardship.
You don't have to share your full medical history to exercise that right — generally just the functional limitations and what you need to do your job. Mediation helps you communicate that clearly, with someone neutral in the room.
Human Quotient is a neutral mediator and does not provide legal advice. For advice specific to your situation, consult a lawyer or a community legal resource.
When to consider mediation
- You’ve raised a concern more than once and nothing has changed.
- Conversations with your manager keep ending in frustration or silence.
- You need an adjustment to do your job safely, but don’t know how to ask.
- The situation is starting to affect your health, your work, or both.
What mediation involves
You are heard first
We meet with you privately to understand your needs and what a good outcome looks like — before anyone sits down together.
A structured conversation
A neutral mediator guides the joint session so it stays focused, respectful, and productive rather than adversarial.
A plan you helped build
The outcome is an agreement you shaped — not a decision imposed on you — with clear expectations and review dates.
