Finding love at work is a pretty common phenomenon.  Despite the prevalence of consensual relationships at work, there are things you should consider including having employees read and sign a Consensual Relationship Policy. This policy could include that:

• The relationship is truly consensual
• All parties to the relationship are aware of the company’s code of ethics, sexual harassment, and non-discrimination policies
• All parties will conform to the company’s code of conduct policy and will maintain a strict professional demeanor while at work or at work functions
• Employees in a supervisor/subordinate relationship will be reassigned so that no formal line of authority exists within the relationship
• The repercussions of not complying with the Consensual Relationship Policy includes discipline up to and including termination, and that the burden of adherence to the policy falls largely and squarely on the highest-ranking employee in the relationship
