Consensual Relationship agreements in the retail work place has rules to it and
boundaries. The types of CRA has been around for some years and it seems to help the
employees sometimes. I just feel that you should think about it right before considering one more
date with your new co-worker or office partner. Sit back and have a reality check. By doing that
it actually gives you some thought to what you might want to do or even say when approached
to sign an Consensual relationship agreement. Basically, it’s an agreement to help both parties
but not pursue litigation against the employer if the relationship doesn’t work out at all. In most
situations especially in retail, you meet new people every day so I feel that once two employees
stop dating, one or the other person will believe that the other partner will not treat them right,
doesn’t give them any attention and ignores them. If it’s a manager dating an associate and a
promotion comes open and they don’t get considered they will feel very uncomfortable as if they
were over looked because the relationship didn’t work out like it should have. Then the next step
may be the co-worker probably will get to point to claim that they feel like it is a hostile work Grayson 2
environment now and now has evolved and the employee will probably try to pursue litigation
against the employer.
