Mirjam de Vries: Labor disputes occur everywhere and have a massive impact on people’s lives.
That is why I founded Ethicall: because I believe in win-win situations. As a mediator, I guide the parties in a careful and practical manner, paying attention to both the human aspect and the labor law context. The goal is to create space, restore trust where possible, and reach agreements that both parties can support.
Labor mediation is used when an employer and employee have reached an impasse in their collaboration or communication in the workplace. This can have various causes, such as illness and return-to-work, performance management, a strained working relationship, situations involving dismissal, or a potential termination of employment. In these situations, labor mediation helps to restart the dialogue and work together to find a workable solution.
In collaboration with WS Advocaten, Ethicall Mediation provides guidance in labor disputes. The mediation processes take place in Dutch or English, ensuring that international organizations and employees can also receive effective support.

Donata van der Blom: Workplace conflicts can have a major impact.
Sleepless nights, illness, negativity, and uncertainty for both parties. The sense of hopelessness drains a lot of energy. As an experienced labor mediator, I mediate in cases where a conflict has arisen at work, with a 90% success rate.
My subspecialization is complex conflicts, particularly when there is inappropriate behavior or integrity issues involved. In such situations, not only the employment relationship but also trust and social safety are under pressure. As a mediator, I guide the parties in these situations through the necessary dialogue to move forward. The elephant in the room is addressed. The parties reflect on the past, acknowledge that they may have experienced it differently, and, starting from the present, seek a solution for the future.
My specialty lies in mediation for sensitive situations in the workplace, such as reports of inappropriate behavior, integrity issues, or other escalations within teams or between employer and employee. With a careful and practical approach, I help those involved to restart the conversation, share perspectives, and work toward a solution that is workable for all parties.
I facilitate mediation processes that take into account both the human side of the conflict and the labor law context. Sessions can be conducted in Dutch or English.
