A recent survey conducted by HR company SD Worx indicates that almost half of Finns have a favorable view of workplace romances, provided these relationships do not interfere with work. The survey highlights that individuals in managerial positions are more likely to find love at work and worry more about the impact their relationship may have on the workplace atmosphere compared to their subordinates.

The study also reveals distinct gender differences in attitudes toward workplace romances. Women tend to have a more pragmatic view, with over half approving of such relationships as long as they do not affect productivity, while men are more likely to consider workplace romances a natural part of life. Additionally, women are almost twice as likely to disclose a workplace romance to their colleagues than men, with only a little over 10 percent of men willing to share such information with their coworkers.

Openness about workplace romances is contingent on the audience, according to the respondents. A mere 5 percent indicated they would share their romance with the entire workplace, whereas less than 10 percent would be willing to inform their immediate supervisor right away. This suggests a cultural hesitation around transparency in personal relationships within professional environments, even as many acknowledge the commonality of navigating romance at work.
