Case Study: "Think It Through: No Dates Allowed"
STEP #1: Read the case "Think It Through: No Dates Allowed" and review the resources followed:
Think It Through: No Dates Allowed?
Workplace conflict can be generated from many sources. One source for potential conflict stems from the simple fact that romantic interpersonal relationships may develop at work. This poses the question, " How common is it for a worker to develop a romantic relationship with a coworker?"
- 62 percent of workers say they have had romantic relationships with a coworker
- 28 percent say they have dated a person above them in the company hierarchy
- 16 percent met their spouse or partner at work
- Hospitality is the #1 industry for at work romance
It is certainly understandable that people who work long hours together may sometimes end up in a romantic relationship. When relationships remain positive, they may (or may not!) create workplace conflict. In a best case scenario, coworkers in a happy romantic relationship may do their very best work.
Alternatively, when a romantic relationship is "rocky" or it ends badly (for example, when one individual wants to end the relationship but the other does not), the resulting fallout can easily cause workplace conflict and decreases in employee productivity and morale. It can even result in potential discrimination or harassment lawsuits filed against the employer. For that reason, increasing numbers of employers are introducing or re-evaluating their current workplace dating policies.
Review the following resources:
- SHRM employee dating policy
- What to Consider Before an Office Romance
STEP #2 - Answer the following questions:
- Do you think it is a good idea to have workplace dating policies that ban dating or romantic relationships between coworkers? Why?
- What are good alternatives to coworker dating bans that would be fair to a business's employees while at the same time help to reduce potential conflicts that could negatively affect the business?
