  4. Love Contracts: What Are the Issues for Managers?

    The 'Love Contract' idea is complete rubbish, and it infringes upon a basic human right to freely associate with whomever we choose. What about a 'Like Contract' -- where employers are forbidden to 'like' the people they work with. Just as ridiculous, but the very idea shows up the unworkability and downrigh...

  9. Love Contracts: What Are the Issues for Managers?

    I met my partner at work. We have worked alongside each other for over six years and spent one of those together. We have always tried to keep work and personal lives seperate and are very careful not to bring any arguments into the office. We now live together but keep all our private issues our business and not the business of other colleagues. It can work out well though I am currently looking for new employment - not because of any discomfort, purely because I miss the ex...

  10. Love Contracts: What Are the Issues for Managers?

    I watched a senior member of my team get involved and have watched them both do incredible damage to morale because staff around them can not trust them and feel ignored. Plus it puts a pressure on those in the relationship as any positive career changes e.g. promotion is looked upon with great synicism.

    Many people meet their partner at work - I did - and we are still happily married 20 years later - though I no longer work at the same Company. It would be wrong to totally ban such liaisons though the individuals themselves have to be sensible and not let their work be affected. Problems really arise in relationships between junior and immediate superior. ...

  15. Religious beliefs: should employers cater for all faiths?

    ..., an internet campaign was to blame for the false findings of the Census, having claimed - wrongly - that if enough people quoted `Jedi' on their Census forms, it would receive official government recognition. The BBC even joined in the campaign - reportedly encouraging people to `do it because you love Star Wars... or just to annoy people.' The result was that 390,000 of the 52,000,000 people in England and Wales entered `jedi' as their religion on the census form. While little more than a lighthearted attempt to have something loved by millions recognised as a religion, the story does highlight ...

The theme this year was very much on the concept of 'new normal' and not surprisingly, it struck a chord with events in London where people who grieve for loved ones killed on 7 July have been symbolically joined with dozens of those who, 14 days later, should have died were it not for some divine hand of intervention that caused the bombs to fail. Like many others in history who can never return to exactly the same life that existed before a catastrophe ...
