Dating

 

Office romances can not only have an adverse effect on workplace productivity, but can engender claims of favoritism, sexual harassment, and retaliation.  So employers should consider implementing a policy covering this topic. However, it is important to assess the pros and cons of strict workplace dating policies, and take into account how to handle both managers and subordinates under such a policy, as well as the steps to take to prevent such policies from raising privacy concerns.
