Workplace romances - Why do we flirt and fall in love at work‪?‬ This Working Life

    • Careers

A new person joins the team and immediately sparks fly... or perhaps you start seeing a colleague in a different light and the friendship turns into something more... 

Workplace romances are common and it’s no wonder - we spend a lot of time at work, and we have a lot in common with people in the same industry as us.

But what are the rules around falling in love or flirting at work? And what are the costs of dating a colleague, or even a boss? 




Guests:
Dr Amy Nicole Baker - Professor of Psychology, New Haven University
Mia Pantechis - Principal Lawyer, Maurice Blackburn

And thanks to Rose and Nick for sharing their story.
