The benefits of the UAM include: (1) "UAM demonstrates from the outset a company's willingness to mediate on cases eligible for mediation - this may contribute to the ultimate satisfactory resolution of a matter; (2) With a UAM, the initial step of contacting the employer to see if they will mediate a particular charge is shortened or eliminated; (3) a UAM establishes a point of contact for the employer, thereby expediting the flow of information between the EEOC and the employer; (4) Fast tracking the information through established contact points expedites the scheduling of a mediation session; and (5) UAM's are flexible. They allow parties to opt out of mediation on a case by case basis if either believes the claim is not appropriate." (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, nd)
