The Survey Results are in! 2019-2023
Between 2019 and 2023, I invited 90 participants of my Restorative Mediations to complete an anonymous survey. 55 responded (61%). Results:
- 75% of mediations were reported to have effectively resolved the conflict and improved working relationships within the team
- 92% of respondents would use Restorative Mediation again and/or recommend it to others
- 83% of mediations were reported to have had an impact on the broader team
- 79% of respondents reported personal and professional benefit, whatever the long-term outcome
Restorative mediation has emerged as a powerful conflict resolution approach that prioritises dialogue, empathy, and healing.
Recently, I collated the answers from my comprehensive survey among restorative mediation participants to gain valuable insights into their experiences. These survey results uncover the impact of restorative mediation on individuals and communities.
The Power of Restorative Mediation
Restorative mediation is a process that brings together individuals involved in a conflict, allowing them to discuss their grievances, share their perspectives, and work together towards a resolution that focuses on repairing harm and fostering understanding. This approach has gained recognition for its potential to transform conflicts into opportunities for growth and reconciliation.
The results of my survey highlight the transformative potential of restorative mediation. Not only does it provide a platform for resolving conflicts, but it also fosters healing, empathy, and empowerment among participants.
