How to manage an office romance 
With people spending 40 plus hours per week at the office, relationships are an integral part of our work environment. Though you may prefer them to be purely professional, office romances are a fact of life. In fact, 39% of employees said that over the course of their career they had dated at least one co-worker. The survey found that most office romances begin outside of the office when co-workers bump into each other elsewhere. 

Tips for managing the perceptions of relationships in the office 

Love is in the air - at work - and it's not likely to go away. According to a recent study by the Society for Human Resource Management, 43 per cent of human resource professionals reported office romances. Of these, 79 per cent reported either an increase in number (12 per cent) or consistent levels of office romances (67 per cent) in the last five years. All of those relationships are sure to raise a few eyebrows. So how do you manage perceptions and squash office gossip?
