Does office romance impact productivity at workplace?

[komal]

Hello to all

It starts from the cubicles and goes to boardrooms and cafeterias and most of the time, for both men and women it isn’t easy to fight attractions.

Welcome all those who have it, wish to have it, have had messed up, looking to live happily ever after or are dead against!!!!!!!

Offices today give us a more conducive environment for flourishing romances than any other dating options. As we are increasingly spending more time in offices than we do at home, and having even less time to hangout, romance at workplace is blossoming as a fairly common phenomenon.

It is also because of the jobs demanding coordination, involvement as well as women coming at work more than ever before, employees tend to form emotional connect easily. Even extra-marital affairs have also become more common.

But are these affairs for keeps? More importantly, does office romance impact productivity at workplace?

Hello Komal ,
Really impressive topic this is.As we all knows today is the age where all work groups came together to get in contact with each other. The big Organisations as well as small every where working males and females togather.
In my point of view the growing romances are really a kind of thing that we can't holdup, they going on because of environment there, some environments are very friendly and no any stress there the natural way goes on and some are very hectic and stress full where we have no time to think about all those things.
Well actually sometimes it really goes to impact @ workplaces. So every body should have to think about it atleast once that what they are doing in offices behind their works...which is the main purpose and primary reason for you to be there in your work places.


Thanks

Yes.After working 8 or 10 hours its obvious one must be get some stress.So its being difficult to work properly in that period.I think its really need some entertainment in that period.U can do some fun activities,playing games like (chocolate hiding etc etc.it can give u some pleasure and u can work properly.And the most thing the environment should be good where you are working.

It's very common for office-mates to become interested in each other. You spend 8+ hours a day together, working side by side on projects and tasks. Still, be cautious about taking that next step..,.,
