| Notes to Reporters: | A new book offers the possibility that the office could become a safe, and even happy, place for both men and women. In a world where misunderstandings can escalate to lawsuits, the author, Dr Rory Ridley-Duff, offers an insightful look into the world of emotion and seduction in the office, and how, without excusing bad behaviour, one might produce an environment where sexual harassment becomes a thing of the past. The book, "Emotion, Seduction and Intimacy", seeks to show that emotion and seduction are part of the human situation, even in the office. | |

PRESS RELEASE Dr Rory Ridley-Duff, a member of the Centre for Individual and Organisation Development (CIOD) at Sheffield Hallam University, has made a ground-breaking contribution to the gender equality and diversity debate with his book titled 'Emotion, Seduction and Intimacy: Alternative Perspectives on Organisation Behaviour'. Rory's new book examines how emotion adds to our intelligence by taking an in-depth look at the way relationships develop - and breakdown - in the workplace. The book pays particular attention to current difficulties surrounding the law and intimate relationships at work, and helps to redress the marginalisation of men in contemporary debates about sexuality at work. Dr Poonam Thapa, a campaigner for sexual and human rights for over 30 years, comments that "Rory does not shun the moral maze of human desires and passions but brings greater understanding to that very facet of life." Also commenting on the book Professor Phil Johnson, Head of Human Resource Management and Organisation Behaviour at Sheffield University, says "Rory's work is insightful and introduces the concepts of gender and intimacy to the subject of enterprise governance. He displayed great tenacity, initially in the face of opposition, to develop theories that explained the data he collected. His work will be of interest to a wide range of disciplines." Raymond Cuttill of Men's Hour Books said, "This book had to be written. Although academic in nature, the book is eminently readable by everyone in the office. Indeed, everyone who has a job needs to read this."
