there is no doubt that it is the prarogative of the Management of an organisation to laid down conditions how it want to progress and what would be way of functioning of its employees. if the organisation feel that dating among employees may affect the efficiency and productivy then it has all the right to prevent it. After all it is the organisation that is paying the staff salary besides maintaing the tempo of progress.
Dating is the same level need like food , clothing, shelter. But unfortunately its not accepted in India. But if dating is done even though having a good life partner is wrong. The Emyloyers should not take interest in their staff's personal matters unless they hurt the other staff. Employers should see to that if dating is affeting the productivity of that person he should simply warn him of productivity only and if not improved simply fire him, no need infact no right to advise him on his dating.
The concept of sexual harassment bas been applied for dating. People have lost their jobs. Hence the work culture in organisations is not healthy for dating, leave marriage. People are not broadminded and they view it seriously each and every word spoken or uttered. Friendly culture is a dream in organisation.May be there are organisations which I am not aware. As far as I have experienced, people come and go and no healthy interactions. In Bombay when I used to work both genders used to have the same lunch room and it is a rule made by the organisation that groups should not be formed.Hence male and female both will having lunch together. In Chennai there is groupism and they are not outspoken and taken negatively. Even during get together organised by the company people are aloof and there is no opportunity for free speech. One needs to be cautious always because you may be trapped because of a single word. The organisations should encourage marriage within the company and promote free speech without gender bias. They should not promote groupism and make employees to move freely.They should usher in broadminded culture without vindictive attitude. In Chennai which company will?
dating with known persons is better than strangers. rumours are part of the job, donot bother. jealousy is the cause of all mishap and misunderstanding.
Well, being in IT sector for over 4 Years, I have seen many love stories in making and even breaking. Yes I do agree that, It often results in loss in productivity, still that is being compensated by the fact that often people tend to overdo or work hard to outshine their prospective compettitors in love dept in order to gain the attention of the opposite sexes. Hence I do not think, upper management shoud poke their ugly nose in these very personal matters. And as far as the HR Dept is concerned, they should behave as Understandable Guardian, not as Pyar Ke Dushman. See you ought to except the fact, Pyar Kisse Ke Roke nahi Rukta, Love is Blind and the Upper Management should atleast turn a Deaf Ear, rather turning like a Filmy Villain. Hence I believe if they cannot promote love in their department, atleast they should not try to curb it or disturb it.
Sometimes it is good but always puts you in the dock. The disadvantages are too many like 1. you are treated differently and people know more want to discuss the insider gossip. Also you can not be unbaised. However positives are you will never miss the office whether it is raining, jam, traffic, flood. Smart man and smart women leads to romance.
why not? its such a wonderful idea. counter to the thought that it might reduce productivity, i feel that it enhances the same. the "subjects" look forward coming to the office, they r fresh, bubbly and alert. if the relationship culminates in marriage, it helps the couple as well as the organization. it reduces attrition. we have companies like Wipro promoting in-company marriages. they infact have a marriage bureau which brokers for the dating colleagues.. all in all, its a win-win situation.
