Shared Neutrals Program

 Two men separated by umpire.

The Shared Neutrals Program (SNP) is a sub committee of the New York Federal Executive Board (NYFEB) that provides alternative methods to resolve workplace disputes.

In the SNP, various federal agencies combine their resources by sharing their trained internal mediators with each other. The program's goal is to resolve workplace disputes early, quickly and at the least cost as possible.
