HR professionals should not be surprised to find personal relationships in the workplace form, flourish, and disintegrate. As one article suggests, our job is to monitor these relationships while providing reasonable solutions which don't necessary send a negative message or make employees feel like you’re interfering in a very personal part of their lives. Relationships between supervisor and subordinate can be potentially dangerous and should be addressed as discussed in another article .
Key points to remember:
- Have a clear and well communicated policy in place regarding work-place relationships
- Act don't react (ie. while termination for violating a company policy is a valid option, it is harsh and would result in the loss of an employee who may be very competent. On the other hand, ignoring could also lead to potential human rights claims)
- Empower the employees to resolve the problem
