Akahi Alliance provides mediation and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services designed to resolve workplace and EEO-related disputes efficiently, fairly, and defensibly.

When Mediation Is Appropriate

- Conflicts risk escalating to formal investigations or litigation
- Agencies or organizations seek early, cost-effective resolution
- Workplace relationships must be preserved
Akahi Alliance helps determine whether mediation is appropriate and how it should be structured to support fair outcomes.
