Vault conducted an office romance survey every year, and the results are surprising. Office romances are becoming more acceptable in U.S. organizations. This year’s survey had 2,274 participants. Only 5% of respondents believed that NO office romances were appropriate. This is down from 2011 which was 9%. Furthermore, 29% of respondents believed that all romances in the workplace were appropriate, even those with their manager.
