The Office Romance Playing With Fire Without Getting Burned
Author: Dennis M. Powers, American Management Association

THE OFFICE ROMANCE Playing with Fire Without Getting Burned Office romance is flourishing! One recent AMA survey showed that 80% of workers polled know of or have been involved in an office "amour"; another revealed that one-third of all romances begin at work. Happily, for all concerned, these relationships are no longer prohibited affai... more »rs. In today's enlightened business world, most companies permit workplace relationships-having wisely decided that you can't outlaw love. But, despite more permissive attitudes, workplace romances can still be dangerous liaisons-especially if certain rules aren't followed. The Office Romance gets to the heart of the matter, clarifying what readers can, cannot, and should do when they are romantically involved with someone at work. Based on interviews with hundreds of professionals in diverse occupations, this guide is full of anecdotes and first-hand advice from people who have had their own office romances. It helps readers involved in office relationships: ** decide when (or if) to make their relationship public ** avoid and solve problems resulting from failed office relationships ** keep their behavior within the boundaries of the law (including an in-depth look at what does and does not constitute sexual harassment). In addition, the book discusses likely effects of office romances on co-workers, how many organizations are handling office romances, what employees can expect from their own companies, and more. Practical, credible, and entertaining, The Office Romance is full of valid, real-world information. It is a vital guide for managers, employees, executives, and business owners living and working in an era when the workplace is rapidly replacing bars, churches, and health clubs as the hot spot for meeting that special someone. DENNIS M. POWERS (Ashland, OR) is a lawyer, Harvard MBA, established author, frequent media guest, and seminar speaker. He has written three books, including the highly acclaimed Legal Street Smarts: How to Survive in a World of Lawyers, as well as numerous newspaper and magazine articles on topics ranging from single life and legal matters to cooking and overseas travel. In addition to his work as a writer, Mr. Powers is an Associate Professor of business law in the School of Business at Southern Oregon University.
