“MORE SEX PLEASE, WE’RE BRITISH”
- Over half of British bosses (53 per cent) believe that it is not an abuse of power to have a relationship with a more junior colleague
- 83 per cent of bosses believe that it is perfectly acceptable to look for a future partner at work
- Almost a quarter (23 per cent) of British businesswomen have been groped or fondled by a client or senior colleague
- 69 per cent of managers believe that life was less confusing when people only shook hands in business
In the wake of the John Prescott affair, a narrow majority (53 per
cent) of British business executives believe that it is not an abuse of
power to have a relationship with a more junior colleague, according to
a survey on relationships in business by The Aziz Corporation
– the UK’s leading executive communications consultancy. An even
greater number believe that a relationship is acceptable with a more
senior colleague or client (55 per cent), or with a colleague of the
same seniority (73 per cent).
Professor Khalid Aziz, Chairman of The Aziz Corporation, comments:
“Contrary to the many comments that in business John Prescott would
have been dismissed, bosses in today’s Britain seem to take a more
relaxed view. It appears it is now acceptable to mix business and
pleasure, reflecting the fact that you are likely to spend more time
with your colleagues than with your family or friends. The shared
intensity of the workplace has, for a long time, acted to ignite
passions and with our culture of long working hours, this only looks
set to continue.”
