BARCLAYS staff must declare all work relationships to their bosses, it has been revealed — as the #MeToo movement hits offices.
The bank has updated its code of conduct for employees — telling them to inform their line manager of “changes to personal relationships which may be relevant to their role”.
It comes as companies battle to respond in the wake of sexual harassment scandals that have engulfed Hollywood and other major industries in the last year.
Barclays’ publicly available code The Barclays Way was revised this summer to include the new clause on workplace flings.
It reads: “All Barclays employees are required to inform their line manager or other appropriate contact of changes to personal relationships which may be relevant to their role.
“This is to ensure that Barclays is aware of any potential conflicts of interest that may arise and can manage these appropriately.
“Personal relationships are defined as new or existing relationships or those which have previously been disclosed that have ended.
“They may involve colleagues, contractors, suppliers, customers or clients and their nature may be a marriage, a civil partnership, a romantic relationship, or a family relationship.”
The bank has had a strict rule on reporting office romances in place since 2005.
But the new code represents the first public acknowledgement that employees must declare their relationships to bosses.

Other major banks like Merrill, Lunch, Foldman Sachs and the Bank of America also have so-called “love contracts” for employees.
But the move may be seen as an invasion of privacy.
And it could see romance dwindle in the UK — where many find their true love in the workplace.
As many as one in five married people met their future spouse at work, according to a survey by National Rail earlier this year.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
