Insurer has observed a “significant spike” in harassment claims
Office romances are on the rise, particularly among Gen Z and younger millennials, with new data from the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) revealing that 33% of these younger workers are open to workplace relationships.
This trend has significant implications for employers, including sexual harassment claims. Although no law prohibits consenting adults from engaging in a romantic relationship at work, Title VII of the US law does prohibit sexual harassment.
