Relationships in the workplace is a widely debated topic. Is it appropriate? Have you ever done it? Is it grounds for firing employees? It’s scary to fall for someone in your professional life and it’s even more scary to think that you could be judged differently for entering into a work romance based on your gender. That’s why we’re excited to have former police officer and author of The Moral Police, Janelle Perez, in to discuss exploring a personal relationship in a professional environment, what you should be aware of before you venture down a path of romance with a coworker and how your gender can affect the way your employer and co-workers view your choice.
