Document background
The Consensual Relationship Agreement is implemented when two employees within an organization enter into a romantic or intimate relationship that needs to be formally acknowledged and managed. This document is particularly important in the Dutch legal context, where both employment rights and privacy considerations must be carefully balanced. The agreement helps organizations maintain professional workplace environments while respecting personal relationships, addressing potential conflicts of interest, and ensuring compliance with Dutch privacy laws and employment regulations. It typically includes provisions for relationship disclosure, professional conduct expectations, conflict management procedures, and protection of personal privacy rights. The document is especially relevant in light of Dutch workplace culture, which values both transparency and personal privacy rights.
