Podcast: Why employers should be wary of workplace romances

We discuss the problems that can occur when colleagues are in a relationship, and what HR can do to manage those issues. We also answer some commonly asked questions, including whether or not it can be harassment to ask a co-worker out on a date.

Subjects covered in this week's podcast on personal relationships at work include:

  • whether or not employers need a written policy;
  • what rules can be included in a policy;
  • how to deal with conduct issues related to a workplace relationship; and
  • questions that have arisen in case law.

In addition to listening to the audio, you can download the podcast transcript.

Presenter Laura Merrylees is joined by Stephen Simpson. Edited and produced by Laura Kimpton.
