Wellbeing | Should workplaces encourage romantic relationships?

Amorous poems being slipped under the desk, flirty exchanges taking place at the printer and tension-filled encounters in the kitchen might be easy to spot in the office today, as Valentine’s Day is here again.

And, whilst love (and pollen) might be in the air today, research finds that the office romance could be on its way out.

Under half (44%) of Brits admit to engaging in a workplace romance according to research from Monster. And, of those that have, a third (33%) have regretted it.

As a result of their workplace fling, 12% have had to suffer inappropriate comments (12%) and feeling unprofessional (11%).
