Is it okay for a romantic relationship to start at work? And as a business owner, what rights and responsibilities do you have (or not have) to interfere in that relationship developing?

 

This juicy conversation includes:

• The dangers of intimate relationships that start at work, especially if there’s a power imbalance involved
• The priority should, first and foremost, be on protecting employees against sexual harassment and abuse
• The potential positives of a couple forming within your business

 

Optimizer Tip: Seek HR guidance early on; you can use an outsourced firm, even as a small business.
