Mr.Ruud van Herpen is since the beginning of 2002 part of the mediation circle of the Centrum voor de Mediation Praktijk (CMP groep BV). The CMP groep BV is statuted in the city of Arnhem and preferred supplier for nationwide Arbo Services Companies like Maetis Arbo and ArboDuo.
In the years Ruud has been working for us we have come to appreciate him as a professional mediator. He is very adept in helping to solve business conflicts in his role as mediator. Ruud is certified since 2003 and has done more than 70 cases for our company.
We have come to know him as a friendly and open person very much interested in the theories concerning preventing and solving conflicts. As a mediator he is a keen listener with a businesslike approach. This approach consists of firstly caucussing with the conflict parties to give them the possibility to decide why and how they want to act in the mediationproces. This approach is based on his and our extensive experience in the field of labor-related conflicts and has proven to be very successful. As can be conceived from the high percentage of completed mediations Ruud positively helps parties to reach an agreement. He is keen on finding the right questions that help people to solve their problems.
Ruud is also very careful as far as it concerns the closing of the deal. He is very keen on positive summarizing of the mediation sessions and on the final chapters of the mediation agreement.
Ruud is – not strange considering his background as a judicial expert – clear on matters concerning the formal part of mediation.
As founder and director of the Centrum voor de Mediation Praktijk BV I highly appreciate Ruud as a mediator. It is the one and only reason why our working relationship has extended over a span of more than eight years.
Yours sincerely
Drs. Michael Stamatiou
Director of the Centrum for the Mediation Praktijk BV
