They were closely followed by 54% of marketing, advertising and PR professionals and 53% of workers in telecoms also admitted that they&#8217;d had a work based relationship. Of the 3000 respondents, only 37% said they&#8217;d had a relationship based at work, compared with 63% who had not.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, graduate trainees and scientists were the least likely to have a work based relationship: 81% of graduate trainees and 74% of scientists revealed that they&#8217;d had no romantic encounters at work!<\/p>\n<p>Steve Moore, BE&#8217;s marketing manager commissioned the wide ranging survey which surveyed office workers throughout the UK and across a broad spread of industries. He commented: &#8220;With Valentine&#8217;s Day coming up, this is a fascinating insight into the personal lives of the UK office workers. It&#8217;s certainly thrown up a few surprises and challenged the office stereotypes that we assume to be true. It was particularly interesting to see that science and technology based professions have a higher incidence of office romances; as this may not necessarily reflect many people&#8217;s assumptions!&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>For More Information on BE Serviced Offices Call 0800 085 5050<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Related Serviced Office Articles:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Serviced Office Articles\" href=\"http:\/\/www.easyoffices.com\/blog\/index.php\/office-workers-feeling-the-pressure-to-work-longer-and-harder\/4681\/\" target=\"_blank\">Office Workers Feeling the Pressure to Work Longer and Harder<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Serviced Office Articles\" href=\"http:\/\/www.easyoffices.com\/blog\/index.php\/business-environment-appoints-new-director-of-human-resources\/4668\/\" target=\"_blank\">Business Environment Appoints New Director of Human Resources<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Valentine&#8217;s Day approaches, workers looking for an office romance should head for the IT department, according to a survey from Business Environment (BE), the\u00a0UK Serviced Offices \u00a0provider.
