Workplace mediation
Work-related conflicts can have a major impact on both professional relationships and the general atmosphere at work. At TEN Advocaten, we offer mediation as an effective and respectful way to resolve these issues. Our experienced workplace mediators guide you through the process step by step, helping you avoid the stress and cost of legal proceedings.
What is workplace mediation?
Workplace mediation is a structured process in which an independent mediator helps resolve conflicts at work. Whether the issue involves tension between colleagues, a breakdown in communication between employer and employee, or complex situations related to long-term illness, mediation provides a safe environment to talk openly and work toward mutual agreements. This often makes it possible to continue working together or, if necessary, to separate on good terms.
Common situations where mediation helps
Mediation is suitable for a wide range of workplace situations, such as:
- Conflicts between employer and employee
For example, disputes about job roles, employment terms or performance evaluations - Long-term absence due to illness
If returning to work is no longer realistic, exit mediation can help end the contract in a respectful and constructive way - Tension between colleagues
Mediation provides a neutral space to talk through differences and, if possible, find solutions together
Why choose workplace mediation at TEN?
There are clear benefits to choosing mediation for employment-related conflicts. The process is confidential, which allows both sides to speak honestly and openly. It is usually faster than taking legal action and, because no court proceedings are involved, it is often more cost-effective.
Another key advantage is that the outcome is built together. Because both sides help shape the agreement, the result is more likely to last and feel fair to everyone involved.
What does the mediation process look like?
At TEN Advocaten, we take a structured and personal approach. The process may involve joint sessions or individual conversations, depending on what’s needed.
- Initial meeting
We begin with an intake session to assess the situation and determine whether mediation is appropriate. - Mediation sessions
The mediator leads discussions where both parties can express their views, concerns and goals. - Agreements
Together we work toward practical solutions, which are written down and form the basis for continued cooperation or a respectful exit.
