Companies have increased scrutiny of consensual relationships among colleagues in the wake of the MeToo movement. Whatever the corporate dating policy is, the underlying message to senior executives is: Just don’t do it.
Mark Wiseman, a potential successor to BlackRock Inc. Chief Executive Laurence Fink, became the latest high-level boss to run afoul of company rules on romantic relationships at work. The asset manager requires employees to disclose any relationship—whether they are with direct subordinates or with other colleagues to the company. Mr. Wiseman, who said he had engaged in a consensual relationship with a colleague without reporting it, was terminated as a result.
If there is one takeaway for bosses at any level, it is that companies would prefer they avoid dating someone at work whatsoever, according to workplace and corporate-governance experts. “There is a magnifying glass that is on this kind of behavior right now within the organization, and you have to be smart about that,” she said.
“We just hope people, like, date in private and, if it fizzles out, they handle it like adults, and we don’t need to know about it,” she said. The rules are often unrealistic, too, she added. For example, in the case of two people having an affair, “If you’re not disclosing it to your significant other, why would you disclose to your HR lady at work?” Ms. Ruettimann said.
