Nearly a third of employees admit to workplace romance since returning to office, study finds

Nearly one-third of workers say that they have had a romantic relationship at work since returning to the office, after a pandemic-related hiatus from showing up in person, according to a survey from career site Resume Builder.  

During the past year, many major corporations have implemented mandatory return-to-office policies, forcing employees to work in person at least a couple of days a week. 

Half of those who said they've experienced workplace romance said their relationship was with a superior, while 46% said they had a relationship with a subordinate. The majority of those in relationships with work colleagues said they did not inform human resources about it, the survey found.
