The inevitable nature of conflict in the workplace and society at large makes the need for social dialogue vary fundamental in building harmonious workplace. Social dialogue which is all types of negotiation, consultation and exchange of information between and among representatives of governments, employers and workers on issues of common interest relating to economic or social policy is critical in building a workplace governed by the principles of accountability and transparency. This paper therefore, explored the nitty-gritty of social dialogue in terms of meaning, forms, levels and usefulness. The paper also identified and practically discussed workable strategies for promoting social dialogue that can lead to workplace harmony. These strategies include: effective communication network, stakeholder relationship, capacity building, joint consultation, and culture of learning organisation. The paper concluded that the dynamic and complex business environment calls for harmonious relationship between labour and management which can be achieved by continuous dialogue.
