Why there could be a silver lining in a failed climate treaty.
I think it is good for men who are more often at the receiving end of such sexual harassment lawsuits
Too bad Monica and Bill didn't sign one.
Very timely article, David. We discussed this on my blog (www.manpowerblogs.com/toth) and it generated quite a bit of spirited discussion. We did a poll and there was basically a 50-50 split among HR professionals as to whether love contracts or a good idea. Most of the folks who submitted comments, though, were staunchly opposed to the idea. Their basic objections, which you captured well in your article, are that (1) most companies already have anti-harassment/discrimination policies and a love contract is sort of a duplicative "belt and suspenders" approach and (2) it puts HR into the unenviable position of acting as the "love police."
Great article and thanks again for reaching out to me.
