Romance follows no boundaries. But, a premises, nourishes romance. School premises. Collage campus. And later on, office, great. Office romance is great.
A recent survey on office romance has hit the headlines, these days. In this survey, many respondents have accepted that it’s a fine road to success.
According to Wikipedia, the free online encyclopaedia:
An office romance, work romance, or corporate affair is a romance that occurs between two people who work together in the same office, work location, or business. It tends to breach non-fraternization policies and is a foreseeable business expense. The relationship between affair partners at work can be as wide as intern and president; company CEO and member of the board; supervisor and supervisee; company representative and client; boss and secretary, and so on. And it can be between peers or colleagues at the same level in the organization.
But, last month, just opposite scene was witnessed. A day or two after joining, the HoD of a news organisation was having interaction with old employees, one by one. It said that the new boss who hesitates in responding when his juniors wish, often seen seeing off even the girl interns. Is this also the way to success? Not sure.
In Wikipedia, some other interesting facts can be observed:
1. In its 2003 nationwide survey Vault found that 47 percent of workers have participated in an office romance and an additional 19 percent would be willing to do so if the opportunity arose. Vault's 2003 Office Romance Survey is based on responses from over 1,000 professionals at companies nationwide. In addition, 13 percent of respondents said their employer had a policy regarding office dating, 51 percent said their company has no policy, and 36 percent said they didn't know whether one existed.
2. A 2007 book, Office Mate: The Employee Handbook for Finding and Managing Romance on the Job, written by Stephanie Losee and Helaine Olen, found approximately half of all Americans will date someone they work with at least once over the course of their work lives. The authors argue that the workplace has become the village of the 21st century and they view office romance as an inevtable outgrowth of the vast amount of time many Americans spend on the job.
However, many incidents show that intra-office romance have been resulted in cases of sexual harassment claims. Some cases have been reported to police and they hit the headlines too.
