The conventional wisdom on office romances has long been straightforward: Just don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

But just last week, a New York Times opinion piece, titled \u201cGo On, Date Your Coworkers,\u201d encouraged it, and begs the question: Is workplace dating no longer taboo?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the question we posed to D.V. Williams, chief people officer at Match Group, in the debut episode of Fortune Office Hours, a new series appearing in this newsletter and on video. As I mentioned this spring, we\u2019re sourcing real workplace scenarios and asking top HR leaders to weigh in.<\/p>\n

Transparency is key when it comes to office relationships, Williams says. Employees who wish to enter into one should understand their company\u2019s policy and speak with HR about any disclosure requirements. Just as important, he says, is keeping any resulting \u201crelationship drama\u201d out of the office.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Would Williams\u2019 advice be different if he didn\u2019t work at Match, where relationships are core to its DNA?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had this philosophy for many years, and I\u2019ve worked across a lot of different industries,\u201d he says. \u201c[A workplace relationship] only gets messy when things are hidden or you haven\u2019t had the right conversations to understand that company\u2019s policy. Other than that, it should be fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Going forward, you\u2019ll find Fortune Office Hours as a regular feature in this newsletter. If you have a workplace situation that you\u2019re unsure how to navigate or a scenario worth unpacking, send it our way via this form.<\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re a people leader or workplace expert interested in sharing their perspective, I\u2019d also like to hear from you. Reach out at my email address below.<\/p>\n
