Loading ...While love may be in the air this Valentine’s Day, that love better not pollute the air for 1/3 of US companies. That’s right, a third of US companies have policies against office romances, even though about 38% of employees claim to have met their significant others at work. Granted, that 38% were not all from companies “banning” office romances, but nearly 4 out of 10 workers say they ignore their company’s “love ban”.
I totally understand how things can get awkward at the workplace if an office romance goes bad. Heck, even if it doesn’t go bad, some office romances can complicate things for more than just the two people involved. However, I just don’t see how companies can ban office romances. All that will do is force people to try and hide it more. Besides, a happy employee is a good employee right? And what employee is happier than an employee in love?
File that under don’t romance your office.
