Voluntary State Employee Mediation Program (SEMP)

Background/Purpose

The Voluntary Colorado State Employee Mediation Program was established in 1986. The program's goal is to provide an alternative method of resolving workplace disputes. It can be used as an alternative to, or in conjunction with, the standard grievance process. The constructive resolution of disputes benefits the organization and the parties involved. Mediation of disputes by a neutral third party has been shown to be effective in helping resolve conflicts and provides for more accepted and lasting solutions than other means. There is no charge for mediation services provided by the program.
