Personel i Zarządzanie (Personnel and Management) monthly has become a partner of Markert Mediacje.
On 1 April 2008 we signed a cooperation agreement with the only Polish monthly which is fully devoted to human resources management. As part of the cooperation Markert Mediacje will contribute articles devoted to conflicts and HR management.

We were invited to participate in a prestigious public relations meeting.
The 9th Dialog PR event, an initiative of PRoto vortal, took place in  Polonia Palace Hotel in Warsaw on 17 March 2008. Crisis situations were the main theme of the meeting which was attended by over 100 persons from the PR branch, journalists and press spokespersons. Doctor Kama Katarasińska-Pierzgalska of the Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology (IPiN) presented, together with Kinga Markert, a case study devoted to mediations in a dispute between the doctors and the board of  IPiN in Warsaw. More information aboutthe event at www.proto.pl/DialogPR: 9th meeting.

Kinga Markert conducted a seminar on facilitation in the Social Psychology College. The seminar on 16 February 2008 was attended by the students of a post-graduate course in ”Negotiations and Mediation".

On the 8th of February 2008 Kinga Markert, the mediator from Markert Mediacje helped Trade Union of Psychologists and the Managing Director at the Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology in Warsaw to come to mutually beneficial agreement. One week before psychologists from IPiN had asked Markert Mediacje to mediate their dispute with the Managing Director. The dispute concerned psychologists’ salaries and their status in the hospital. The Managing Director had accepted the mediator’s service.

In October 2007 the consultants from Markert Mediacje mediated in a dispute between the doctors on strike and the management of the Institute of Psychiatry and Neurology in Warsaw. After several weeks of intensive negotiations: six mediation meetings lasting several hours each on 31 October 2007 the parties signed an agreement in the presence of mediators from Markert Mediacje. Kinga Markert and Alicja Krata, the mediators, and Agnieszka Polska, a restructuring consultant, were involved in the mediation process.
