| XpertHR workplace relationships survey |
Policy and impact
Personal relationships at work can lead to problems such as favouritism and decreased morale. We find out how employers have established and implemented effective policies to deal with these issues.
Employer approaches
Employers are most likely to intervene in workplace relationships where employees display overt sexual behaviour or embark on a love affair, or if a manager has a relationship with a subordinate, according to XpertHR research.
Ways to improve strategy
This anonymous, sector-based table includes comments from HR respondents on how their organisation's workplace relationship strategy could be improved, and shows which employers have a formal policy.
XpertHR line manager briefing
