While some may feel that office romance is a taboo topic, 41% of employees have engaged in intimate coworker relationships, according to a new survey, released by Namely. The survey also uncovered that less than 5% of employees who engaged in an office romance confided in HR—even if company policy required formal disclosure.
Namely’s Love @ Work Survey set out to understand how employees really feel about dating coworkers—and what role they believe HR should play in creating and enforcing dating policies. Amidst the global conversation around workplace harassment, it’s more important than ever to acknowledge the frequency of these relationships and for HR to become a trusted resource for employees.
