Romance in the Workplace (1 ) Failed romances in the workplace may sometimes lead to sexual harassment charges which could result in potential negative effect on the public image of the company , expensive legal battles , and possible settlements . Personal relationships between co-workers could also impede productivity and performance . An employee could also develop a conflict of interest with the company due to his or her romantic involvement with a co-worker . For instance , he or she may put the interest of his or her significant other ahead of the company ‘s best interests which can hurt the company as a result (2 ) For companies like Springfield Manufacturing Corporation , they believe that a work environment that encourages dating among employees can help the employees to balance their personal and professional lives (Deisenhouse , 1996 .

Since there are ways to prevent the problems it could cause the company , I stand by my opinion of banning coworker dating as an overly restrictive policy .New Components in the Electronic Business (1 ) First , the company needs to determine where the new manufacturing department would be located . This would be followed by the projection of costs of adding an entire manufacturing department that is capable of meeting the large demand of the US Department of Defense . The company has to project the cost of building the new production department which includes the office building , the machineries , tools , and materials needed . The number of employees to be recruited for the new department should also be considered . The company also has to determine the manner of recruitment – would the company hire the services of a recruitment firm or would they find the means to recruit by themselves ? Then , the cost of hiring new employees and the cost of…
