Romance at Workplace: A Debate

Recently, we had one very interesting debate on “workplace Romance”. What if one of your male employees likes to spend his “Free time” with one of his female Colleague. We tried to find following things:

1. Is this wrong or right?
2. If the management has any right to intervene?
3. Should there be any policy to have a check on such “interactions” or relations?
4. Is it his or her personal life and no one should interfere. Let them do anything they like to do, as long as it is not affecting their job-performance.
5. If this is a right of an individual and the organization should let them continue?

I am sure you will find this debate…an interesting one.

It was not possible for me to get uploaded the whole discussion in one file…as there is space limit. It has been uploaded in two files namely as:

The Case: I recently had an experience. One of my office (female) colleagues is closely involved with one male colleague. They go for lunch together; they sit in bus together and wherever they go they are together. Because of that lot many discussions, chit chatting etc is going in the company. Ours is a male dominated organization and only few female employees are working.

One day my President called me and asked me to talk to that girl and prompt them that such things are not good at working place. So I called her and talked to her very politely that I’ve received a feedback like this and…. etc. You will not believe what answer she gave:

“I sit with that person in bus because I don’t find myself comfortable with others. I like that person and it is my personal matter what others have to do with this. And I’ll not stop all this because people are discussing”.

The list of participants: Veena Dhamankar, Arun Kottolli, Vivek Raghuvanshi, Gopika Rani, Madhukar Kaushik, Usha Gowri, Meera, Deepak Miglani, Puja Jhunjhunwala, S. Madhavan, Rajendran Mani, Jyotsna Cheruvu, Saumitra Yadav and Sanjeev Sharma.

Usually in debates there is no winner…and everyone just share their views. Similarly, in this debate also there is no winner and we all have just shared our views based on our culture, experience, knowledge and logic. It will be nice to have your views and comments on the same.

With love and care.
