What are the Ethical Dangers?
I recently read a study dealing with dating in the workplace by Zeta: Dating Coworkers in Numbers: 2020 Study. Dating in the workplace is fraught with danger because of potential conflicts of interest when one party has to make decisions that affect the other. Will they make objective judgments? Might their decisions influence the relationship? Is sexual harassment a consideration? These are just a few questions to address before becoming involved in a dating relationship.
Here is more about the results of the study.
We surveyed 1,000 Americans to find out who dates whom, what happens when peers find out, how serious office flings get, and if fooling around with workmates is worth the sweat.
A few highlights of the survey:
Turns out, workplace lovers aren't few and far between. That said, mixing work and romance is a tricky business: there’s the good, the bad, and there’s the ugly.
