In May 2023, the Institute will form the third cohort of its Labor Arbitrator Development Program.
Here is more information about these initiatives.
The Scheinman Institute Advisory Board has many notable arbitrators and mediators, who are leaders in the field. The “Resolving The Dispute” video series features members of the Board highlighting some of their most interesting cases, the issues involved, and the approach they used to come to an equitable solution.
We bring together the insight of leading scholars, researchers, and practitioners to design training courses for the modern workplace. We specialize in work – from HR practices to labor relations and conflict-resolution strategies. We train people who change their organizations.
The issues surrounding conflict in the workplace are the center of our public discourse and public policy.
It takes a certain set of skills and expertise to navigate this changing landscape.
"With my wife, Laurie, we endowed the Scheinman Institute on Conflict Resolution to provide students, professionals and others interested in dispute resolution with the tools they need to help create a better society. Today, Scheinman Institute faculty and alumni stand at the forefront in resolving the most complicated and significant work-related issues."
