Yes. EEOC has a free mediation program. The program is voluntary and all parties must agree to take part. The mediation process is also confidential. Neutral mediators provide employers and charging parties the opportunity to reach mutually agreeable solutions. If the charge filed against your company is eligible for mediation, you will be notified by the EEOC of your opportunity to take part in the mediation process. In the event that mediation does not succeed, the charge is referred for investigation. If you would like more information on the EEOC's mediation program, see Mediation.
