Romance in office

Richard Branson founder of Virgin Group says:

• bring romance back to office; avoid designing policy to conceal relationship of people; openness will prove to be win win;
• two people who have fallen in love should not report to one another;
• no matter how discreet and sensible the pair might be, too close a working relationship will invite problem;
• words of wisdom, "they should act like married couple around the office -- no outward displays of affection."
• couples should not use corporate email systems to send private messages;
• do not prohibit office romance, it would be far better to prepare some come sense guidelines that will help couples to cope with relationships that will inevitably arise.

A great company behaves something liake an extended family-- cheering succcess, finding the upside of mistakes, and getting together periodically to reconnect.

Employees falling in love is all part of the adventure and should be celebrated.
