Is sex at work a matter for HR policy? Should, or indeed can, one try to legislate matters of the heart or hormones? Should workplace romances be dealt with in an open, adult way or <strong>made taboo&lt;\/strong&gt;?\nWorkplace romances are inevitable. People with similar education, interests and values are recruited to organizations. And if they spend eight or more hours a day together, it\u2019s no surprise that attractions develop. So, why shouldn\u2019t the office be a good place to find a partner?\nThe argument goes that workplace romances can and do have an impact on organizational dynamics, which, in turn, affect <span><strong>outcomes&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/span&gt; \u2014 productivity, morale, efficiency. Senior people can <strong>lose the plot&lt;\/strong&gt;, <strong>take their eye off the ball&lt;\/strong&gt;, compromise their integrity. New channels of unofficial communication can be opened up and closed down. The <span><strong>appointment&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/span&gt; of favoured sexual partners can seriously affect how people perceive the <span><strong>transparency&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/span&gt; and justice of a selection process or promotional system.\nTwo criteria define workplace relationships. One is hierarchy and the other is the openness of the relationship. The <strong><span>combination&lt;\/span&gt; &lt;\/strong&gt;of these factors gives four groups. So, you could get two journalists openly living together, the head of sales openly dating a team member, two board members keeping an affair <strong>hush-hush&lt;\/strong&gt; and a married CEO bedding his secretary.\nThere is some evidence that job performance goes up among those in same-level relationships, but goes down in hierarchical relationships. And the theory is that a lot of energy is wasted in trying to keep close relationships secret.\nBut there are other factors that impact job performance. The first is pretty obvious: how good is the relationship? A healthy relationship <strong>boosts morale&lt;\/strong&gt;, energy and enthusiasm. Work motivation can improve because workplace lovers\u2019 enthusiasm for being at work increases. So, if you put pressure on a relationship, you will cause stress for individuals and reduce motivation.\nBut workplace relationships can cause resentment among other employees who feel, rightly or wrongly, that <strong><span>favouritism&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/strong&gt; occurs. This could decrease the productivity and morale of those not in a workplace relationship. And the more counter-cultural romantic relationships are to an organization, the greater the problem. Workplace relationships happen, full stop. Draconian rules often lead to secrecy, <strong>rumours&lt;\/strong&gt;, <span><strong>gossip&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/span&gt; and false accusations. Being open, grown-up and sensible is the best strategy.&lt;\/p&gt;\n"},"library":"H5P.AdvancedText 1.1","subContentId":"5c924065-6ef7-410a-88f9-feeac74eed81","metadata":{"contentType":"Text","license":"U","title":"Unbenannt: Text","authors":[],"changes":[]}},"useSeparator":"auto"}]},</strong></span></strong></span></strong></strong></strong></span></strong></strong></span></strong></span></strong></strong></strong></span></strong></strong></p></span></h3>
