The thought which comes to my mind after reading the case is that :
Love contracts appear to be a intrusion into employees personal lives and one can have a stark contrast to married couples working in the same organization without needing one.
Many companies have started promoting the idea of marrying within the organization by providing incentives to the employees in doing so...Infosys is an apt example...
With such radical and open minded HR policies in vogue attaching much importance to love contracts is an effort in vain. It only maligns the image of the company and achieves much less in terms of safeguarding the interests from cases of physical and sexual advances.
First of all, the question is what are we trying to achieve with the love contract?
Are we focussed narrowly in safeguarding the interest of the company against possible consequences of a romantic relationship brewing in office premises OR much significant issues like attrition rate (which is bound to increase by the presence of these contracts) and creating a healthy work culture in the organization.
As a matter of fact, promoting the idea of marrying within the organization is fruitful for the company as well as for the employees and shows a healthy and mature approach to this issue than making the prospective couples sign the love contract !
