- Flirting in the workplace is not only a good way to
relieve
anxiety and stress, but can strengthen relationships with partners at home,
according to a survey in Italy.
-
- Seven out of ten Italians find that giving their working
environment "an erotic charge" helps them to get through the
day, the Italian Gestalt Institute reported yesterday. It also makes them
more relaxed and confident when they return home in the evening.
-
- For its survey, the institute, which has trained
psychotherapists
for 20 years, questioned 1,000 employees aged 25 to 50, from management
to shopfloor. Seventy-two per cent said that they had formed "some
kind of effective relationship" in their workplace. The report said
this showed that "the creation of a playful atmosphere" through
"banter and compliments" helped to boost self-esteem among
colleagues,
reduce friction and establish a "collegiate" work environment.
-
- The survey said that this worked only if the "erotic
play" was kept within limits and the tone was kept light.
-
- As many as 20 per cent of those questioned admitted that
what had started out as a game at the office had later developed into
"serious
passion", causing stress, depression, insomnia and - inevitably -
a marital crisis when the truth emerged.
