Most people believe romantic relationships are OK as long as they don"t affect productivity, de-motivate other colleagues or have an impact on the work environment on the whole.

Nina Cole from the Ryerson University conducted a study that involved 100 employees who at one point of time, had a love relationship in their workplace.

The average length of these was found to be 20 months.

Some companies take managerial actions in cases when:
the performance of co-workers was negatively affected
where the work environment was negatively impacted
when negative emotion from a break-up affected a work environment

Though the employees do not seem to be bothered of , most of them objected in case of a romantic relationship between a manager and an employee of the same department.

Its common to share a relationship with a colleague when one spends maximum time in office, however, company policies should be clear on the fact that romantic relationships should not affect the workplace.
