Workplace Romances: The Good, The Bad, and The Restraining Orders

60% of people have been in a workplace romance - and 43% of those apparently end in marriage! So maybe we shouldn't be trying so hard to prevent them? But we should take precautions.

Management-side attorney Leah Stiegler from Woods Rogers joined me to discuss the messiest workplace romance situations she's encountered (think: affairs, stalking, and executives caught on video with prostitutes). More importantly, we cover what HR should actually be doing about workplace relationships.

In this episode:

• Why prevention might be the wrong strategy
• The three policies that can save your sanity (including "love contracts")
• When awkwardness becomes harassment
• Real stories that'll make you cringe
• Practical advice for navigating romance drama at work
