| | Well friend i say in dealing with this approach ask them to separate their work from their love issue, tell them you value them and want them to keep working there. Be fartherly in your appraoch. Now let me tell you this they are good for the working environment because true love bring many things positive and it effects others in a positive way. Tell me do you want an environment blessed by hard cold beings or loving beings. Cheers |

| | Dear Urvashi
what about company rules, performance appraisals. and team management. you know i will qoute the example of my director. he made sure we worked in teams we were not familiar with.it did stir up the things but it also got the work done i know it doesn always work but then you have company rules. break times.
you can try the following
check the company rules
if they are there for timings, breaks, etc. then circulate them through mail as an attachement but do keep your boss informed verbally and also attach a CC copy to him/ her. others will know that those above u are not in dark if there are no rules or minimum. take your boss in confidence and frame them. they should be consistent throughout organization. be sure to follow them yourself. because you lead by example.
step 2: circulate guidelines on office ettiqute. and behaviour. try to make them as general as possible. but the message should go across that such kind of behaviour is no longer being taken lightly by the management. check on the response. at this stage grapevine plays an important role if you know how to use it.
step 3 if things do not improve check on the performance of all and not only these too. i am sure you will able to nail them. after all Love came later, work came first. if the work suffers so will job and so will such a relationship. you may get a chance on the basis of work to tell them that they are losing their grip on their work.
if things still do not improve then be courageous call them (you call them separately) and tell the guy that if his performance should drop his popularity in his personal life could drop too. he must concentrate on his work . he will give all kinds of reasons including that he knows how to manage things. the gal may also say u are jealous etc etc. but remmember sometimes when soft treatments dont work we have to take the bitter pil. Good treatments are nearly always bitter. the seed will be sown well in his mind and things will improve over night.
so u dont tell them they should stop or not talk or anything else but some times realization of reality is must. and the reality is that professional girls and not so professional girls at the end of the day expect their partner to be serious with work. and atleast moderately ambitious in their career.

| | Hello,
Urvashi.
Please remember u r dealing with human resourse/ capital an important asset , faced with a situation u have stated would require ,a polite and firm dealing to put the house in order definately not harsh one .
Simply firing [harsh dealing ] though easy way out but piggybacks cascading ill effects in the long run to the company , is no solution ,conversly informing ,counselling and deep seated understanding of human behavoiur(psychology) and the way employer(you) encourage/discouage the employees in giving their best performance for the company.
Employees will be productive assets provided they are made to feel part of the orgnisation and the ambiance prevailing in the work place , way they are encouraged or supressed to perform .
Set each one/team the target to be achived with in stipulated time , allow freedom to achive it within the company rules and regulations governing thr discipline. Develop personal rapo with each to build confidence.
Let the T L allocate the task for the day ,measure the performance ,as long as that is achived by end of the day , other aspects should not be bothering you .
You will be able to build good orgnisational work culture without compromising your company Goal/Objective. May be your new/alone to decide on such matters.
What i have stated is in general on the face of the situation narrated .
Solutions are available on long term and short term basis depending on the ground realities you need to apply the solution relevent to the situation.
Warm Regards
Nijampure

From some days i m noticing that there are few couples in my organization, they are in some relationship with each other.
i dont have any concern about wat kind of relations they are having but now it is hampering the work and workplace.
They spend more time together in the cafeteria, they are now less interacting with other collegoues and the boy dont like that his girl will interact with other boys. It is spoiling the working enviornment.
Although they are more concentrated on each other than the projects.
Most of the time i found them in the cafeteria or in the balcony.
I think i can t give them warning letters regarding this as it is a part of their personal life i cant say them not to talk to each other.
Please tell me the way out of this problem.
before it totally spoil the working enviornment of my organization please help me...... |  |

| | reply This is what I would advise to do :
make them understand that what they do in their own free time is their business but what they do during work hours reflects on the company and they would need to be professional and work with ethics and integrity at the workplace.
Typically you would share the message very broadly in either a team meeting or in an email just stating professional ethics at the workplace or sharing a ppt around professionalism at the workplace. If you see employees continuing to do the same after the note and sharing, then you would call them for a coaching conversation and indicate gently but firmly to follow professionalism at work.
this is tough but you go to do this, else this could spread and more people will start to take things casually.
hope this helps
