Valentines Day and the Office Romance

By Michael Fitzgibbon

I'm definitely not taking this opportunity to post about the "office romance".  I am suggesting that you read the interesting take over at Workplace Management on what they describe as a "blown-out-of-proportion workplace issue".  They go on to rhetorically ask the following:

"What is it about this commercial candy-and-card holiday that makes publicists, consultants and PR people feel the need to tout the latest polls, surveys and books that purport to help managers deal with this terrible workplace problem? I understand the news hook of Valentine?s Day, but really, is this a hot, burning issue for any workplace in America?"

This is a very good question. 

The point is to be aware of the issue and the legal implications irrespective of the time of year.
