Workplace Romances: The Good, The Bad, and The Restraining Orders


Listen Later

60% of people have been in a workplace romance - and 43% of those apparently end in marriage! So maybe we shouldn't be trying so hard to prevent them? But we should take precautions.

Management-side attorney Leah Stiegler from Woods Rogers joined me to discuss the messiest workplace romance situations she's encountered (think: affairs, stalking, and executives caught on video with prostitutes). More importantly, we cover what HR should actually be doing about workplace relationships.

In this episode:

  • Why prevention might be the wrong strategy
  • The three policies that can save your sanity (including "love contracts")
  • When awkwardness becomes harassment
  • Real stories that'll make you cringe
  • Practical advice for navigating romance drama at work

Guest: Leah Stiegler, Partner at Woods Rogers law firm and creator of "What's the Tea in L&E" video series

Do you have a workplace romance horror story? Please comment! Preferably keeping it safe for work - even if things happened at work! LOL
