This is an acknowledgment of their relationship. The signed CRA is a statement stating that the relationship is consensual and under no circumstances will it interfere with their job performance. It also reinforces the employer’s sexual harassment prevention policy by the manager reaffirming the company’s policies and handing them the sexual harassment booklet. If and when the relationship should end, this agreement states that either party will seek arbitration opposed to filling a sexual harassment grievance.

At work, professionalism refers to a person doing his/her job with sincerity, and maintaining professional etiquette and ethics in the workplace. It leads to logical and completely unbiased decision-making, making it the basis of a good work environment.

Assignment 1: Consensual Relationship Agreements Case Study Tina Fleck Dr. Browder Coates Bus 520 – Leadership and Organizational Behavior October 23, 2012 Ethical behavior is idealized in all facets of life from business and professional relationships to scholarly activities and personal relationships. The standards an individual holds for oneself should portray honesty, respect, and dignity of the rights of individuals as well as groups of individuals. Applying these standards in the workplace is essential to the success of an organization. When identifying various problems in the workplace associated with ethical behavior, interoffice relationships tend to weigh heavy. “A 1998 survey by the Society for Human Resources Management predicted that 55 percent of office romances would likely result in a marriage, but that 28 percent of these office relationships may result in complaints of favoritism from coworkers, 24 percent in sexual harassment claims, and another 24 percent in the decreased productivity of the employees involved” (Wilson, Filosa & Fennel, 2003).

All of these characteristics are set in place to make sure that employees are not selling or using alcohol or drugs. The health and safety of all employees are a value to employers who promote a drug free workplace environment (Heathfield, 2013). When a drug free workplace is not enforced, productivity from employees can result in the company initially losing money because of the lack of work employees are actually doing. Work related injuries can be costly on the company if the employee is found to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the accident.
