📄 Abstract
In this paper, discussions have been made on the fact that Conflicts at work are inevitable, yet how they are managed usually determines whether relationship is to be repaired or destroyed. Over the past years, mediation has become a recognised strategy of addressing job related conflicts involving a practical and people-oriented approach towards dispute resolution. Mediation promotes active communication, listening, and collaborative problem-seeking unlike litigation or arbitration that tend to increase hostility. This paper critically examines the role of mediation in employment disputes, its ability to save relationships in the workplace, save on costs and also offer more flexible solutions that are otherwise unavailable in a court of law. Simultaneously, it analyses the shortcomings of mediation, including power disparities between the employers and workers, voluntary character of it, and non-binding nature in certain situations. This paper suggests that when used intelligently and with the help of well-established institutional basis, mediation can be a revolution in advancing fairness, dignity, and long-term harmony in the employment relations through references to legal frameworks, practical experiences, and comparative practices.
