Building strong working relationships is encouraged, but any romantic or dating relationship between employees can lead to various challenges and complications within the workplace.

Moreover, it may raise concerns regarding fair treatment, promotions, and assignments, leading to a less harmonious work environment. 2. Compromised Professionalism: The existence of a romantic relationship between co-workers can blur the lines between professional and personal lives. This may lead to emotional or favoritism-driven decisions, compromise the quality of work, and cause distress among other team members who might feel excluded or undervalued. 3. Workplace Tensions and Jealousy: Relationships may create rifts or imbalances within teams, leading to misunderstandings, resentment, workplace tensions, and potential conflicts among colleagues. These can be detrimental to individual well-being and overall team dynamics. 4. Potential Legal Issues: In some cases, dating between co-workers may result in issues such as accusations of favoritism, sexual harassment, or discrimination. These situations can not only harm the individuals involved but also expose the company to legal liabilities. As a responsible employer, we are committed to providing a safe and professional work environment for all employees. To ensure compliance with this policy, we kindly request that any pre-existing romantic relationships be disclosed to the Human Resources department within [specific time frame]. If applicable, we will work with the involved parties to find suitable solutions, such as transferring one of the employees to a different department or team.
