Dating a coworker is the secret to workplace productivity

Listen as KZN and Gordon chat about romantic relations in the workplace;

Most of us spend the majority of our days at work, so it’s not uncommon for feelings to develop for the people we work with.

Sometimes they are strong friendships, familial bonds or in some cases those feelings can be romantic.

But dating in the workplace has a stigma attached to it and is often seen as a distraction.

But a new study has revealed that dating in the workplace can actually have positive results.

According to research conducted by Insurance Quotes, people in workplace relationships were happier, more productive, and even more likely to be comfortable with their current rate of pay than those not dating or involved with coworkers.

The research also revealed that those coupled up were even less fearful of job insecurity than singles in the office

According to the authors of another study done at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden on the benefits of office romances: “Many participants expressed their pleasure in going to work when they were in a workplace romance.

“One participant said the relationship energized him to work even harder and another said this euphoria motivated her to work more.”
