ADR consists of a variety of approaches and techniques for dispute resolution that include coaching, facilitation, mediation, and arbitration. Each ADR technique provides an opportunity to discuss and consider possible solutions with the assistance of a neutral third party. The Notice of Receipt contains information instructing the complainant of ADR and the options available. If the complainant selects ADR, and the method proves unsuccessful in mitigating their complaint, the complainant can select another technique of ADR. Should a situation arise that necessitates a third-party dispute professional, the Office of Equal Opportunity Monitoring and Compliance will contract with an appropriate service vendor to conduct the ADR activity.
