Is Love Contract really a Solution??

In lot many post it’s been said that “Love Contract” is not the solution to the problem and company should use the communication medium and HR should develop an environment of trust. But one question that comes to mind is that “Is it really possible to solve all these issues using mutual trust and communication”? Had it been possible then the whole concept of having Employment contracts would have ended long time back. Existence of Employment relations as a subject is a proof in itself to the fact that the Employee and Employer relations can’t simply be relied on trust with ongoing complexities involved in the environment. I totally agree that Love Contracts are not a foolproof way to tackle the unfavorable consequences that could come up as part of on-job relationships. But then it’s surely a step towards that.

Luv Gandhi raised two very good points:
1.If company asks its employees to sign such a contract then how will they administer the contract?....Going by the human psychology I feel that once a person signs a contract then he/she develops some sort of fear towards the possible consequences and that itself is sufficient enough to refrain many from taking any undesired step.
2.Why there are no “Family (chacha, mamaji, tauji, bhaiya, bhabhi, Jijaji,etc,etc) contracts”…....For this I wud just like to say that God forbidden if there is some family problem then person might be affected from that, and It might affect his/her performance….But Otherwise in Normal circumstances it’s only a Love affair that could have a greatest effect on a person’s mind. That is the reason that Employers tried to target this particular aspect first. As for others who knows we might get to see some contracts in the future as per the names he suggested.
