Office romance

Don't they disturb? All those couples who show Public Display Affection (PDA) in the workplace. Besides them showing their 'love' for each other, this is really a disturbing matter. Many work policies have had to forbid office romance, especially those who were not a couple before working with each other because they end up bringing their arguments from home. They end up disagreeing with each other at work just because they had a fight.read more.

This affects the company's revenue and way forward. The question lies, how can these couples love each other but not fight with each other? Is it possible though? At the end of the day every relationship is bound to have misunderstandings. Does that mean that the Human Resource department, Public Relations department or the counsellor or the management have programmes designed to deal with couples issues, counselling them? Companies go out for team building exercises, then the couple will want to share the same bedroom. Beware say experts on office romance .

The next thing you know the couple is signing to each other "those" smiles, flirting, and touching. All of this flirting affects the communication aspect of the company because these couples will be winking at each other during meetings. Is it about dating or is it about sleeping our way to the top or being seen with someone? Well what is the management doing about this... or is it also part of it in secrecy, of course! Is it worth keeping these couples in the workplace...will they benefit the company?read more.

  2. Implement programmes or orginise them, doing different exercises for couples on how to behave in the workplece. Giving solutions on what to do when you had a fight this can be through booklets or DVDs, because at the end of the day you cannot stop people from falling in love but can act on how they conduct themselves.
