Document background
The Consensual Relationship Agreement serves as a crucial document in Indian corporate environments where employees engage in romantic relationships with colleagues. This agreement has become increasingly important due to growing workplace complexity and the need to balance personal freedoms with professional responsibilities. It addresses requirements under Indian employment law, including the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Act, while protecting both the organization and the employees involved. The document is typically implemented when employees disclose a romantic relationship to their employer, requiring all parties to acknowledge and agree to maintain professional standards, manage potential conflicts of interest, and follow specified protocols for workplace interaction. It's particularly relevant in modern Indian workplaces where traditional boundaries between professional and personal lives are evolving.
