It’s the start of so many rom coms - two co-workers working long hours together, having lunch together in the break room, and catching the same elevator up to the office each morning. Then, before you know it, they’re more than co-workers.
Romantic relationships in the workplace are almost unavoidable but navigating them from an HR perspective can be tricky. In today’s episode, Chuck and John talk about relationships in the workplace and how you can best protect the company and workplace from unwanted, uncomfortable, and sometimes illegal situations.
They also discuss an update issued by the US Department of Labor regarding the FLSA protections for nursing mothers and the importance of emotional intelligence.
