Why you should encourage intimate physical relationships at work

The HR sphere is full of theories that, apparently, hold the key to increased job satisfaction and higher productivity – but this latest one, by the Swedes again, may prove tricky for HR to prove the ROI for.

He also said that current employee exercise breaks can be amended, so there will be no extra cost put on the employer for this.
