Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms are gaining momentum in India's labour law enforcement system. ADR mechanisms provide an informal platform for resolving disputes, which is crucial in labour law disputes where the parties may have an ongoing employment relationship. The traditional court system is seen as time-consuming, expensive, and complicated, leading to a backlog of cases. However, there are challenges in their implementation. The ADR mechanism provides a Win-Win Situation for employers as well as workers, thereby promoting a Harmonious work environment in the workplace. In this paper, the author aims to highlight some of the roles of ADR mechanism in promoting a healthy work environment. Further, discusses the challenges in the implementation of these mechanisms in India.
