EEOC and Centerpoint Energy Sign National Mediation Agreement to Address Job Disputes

Latest EEOC-Employer Partnership Continues Trend with Corporate America

HOUSTON - The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and CenterPoint Energy today announced the signing of a National Universal Agreement to Mediate (NUAM) to informally resolve workplace disputes through Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) before an EEOC investigation or potential litigation occurs.

The mediation partnership marks the 153rd such national or regional agreement between the EEOC and a large employer (mainly Fortune 500 companies) and bolsters a multi-year trend of Corporate America signing on to the EEOC’s widely acclaimed mediation program -- one of the largest employment-related ADR programs of its kind nationwide, with approximately 11,600 mediations conducted annually.

“We applaud CenterPoint Energy and welcome their participation in the EEOC’s mediation program,” said EEOC Houston District Director R.J. Ruff, Jr. “There are numerous benefits that flow from participating in the EEOC’s mediation program: it is fair, non-adversarial, expeditious and cost-effective. Additionally, mediation allows the parties to craft the resolution to the conflict that best meets their mutual needs -- which provides everyone the best opportunity to bring closure to the issues in a satisfactory manner.”

Mediation is neutral and fair.

Both parties have an equal say in the process. They decide the terms of the settlement and the mediator negotiates what they want. Neither party is determined guilty or innocent.
