In a survey by Adelaidenow which included 3000 respondents about 70 per cent of workers said that it was okay to enter into a relationship with a colleague, news.Com.Au reported.
About half (47 per cent) agreed it is only as long as they do not deal with each other directly.
Corporate and personal image consultant Cosimina Nesci said romance between co-workers was once considered a "no-no".
But longer working hours meant more people were finding love at work, she added.
"If you're going to do it, then you really need to be ... aware of the consequences. Most people think that no one is going to know about it but somebody will know about it," she said.
The survey also found that the burden of chivalry was not to be shouldered by men alone.
