HR Managers should make policies about the working life of Married Couple
9:12 PM Edit This 8 Comments »Two out of five couples in Mumbai seek divorce
[For every five weddings registered in Mumbai and Thane since 2002, family courts have received two applications for divorce. Exactly 104,287 marriages were registered in Mumbai and Thane between January 2002 and October 2007. During the same period, the family courts in the two districts received 44,922 applications for a divorce.
Figures for 2007 bear out the trend. Mumbai and Thane registered 17,221 marriages between January and October last year; there were 7,813 applications for divorce in the same time.
‘‘Even long-standing, stable matrimonial relationships may eventually crack under severe pressure,’’ a Tata Institute of Social Sciences sociologist said. ‘‘There is no shame or stigma attached to a divorce now and even parents often back their daughters who want to separate if things do not fall in place,’’ psychiatrist Harish Shetty added. The increasing numbers corroborate what they say. 2007 (till October) saw 4,138 divorce applications in Mumbai. This is an increase of 47.5%. over the 2002 figure of 2,805.]

If this is the result of growth, I really do not move towards growth. This data is really shocking . People are doing marriages for their fun . Why they marry with each other? Marriage is just like a compromise of Ego. Divorce harms the future of children. We can not let them on the mercy of society. Children has not committed any crime. Why divorced couple destroy the future of children? Children are the result of their marriage. If we will give the knowledge to them about their fate at the time of birth , they do not wish to take the birth. Now HR Mangers should make the policies about working life of married couple in their company. It is necessary because it effect on the working capacity of manpower. They have to maintain the equilibrium between the growth of company and personal life of their man power. We are not machine, we are human beings. Couple need the time to understand the complicacies of life. -----Deepak Miglani Legal Buddy

Hi Deepak,
This is a great topic to discuss however it's in the individuals interest how they balance and give their personal life equal amount of time. We are fighting for something which one day we will lose i.e our ego, money, prestige,status. It sounds very weird,however in the long run,family relationships are the ones which stand by us. It's a debatable topic no end to it. If employees know their priorities well and convey the same to their managers then things will definitely be put in place .A break once in 3 months or 6 months is a must to balance both professional & personal life.

Hi Deepak,
In one way i agree to what Shahwar says, but in real life scenario , in a competitive environment it is not easy to take break once in 3 or 6 months... atleast men are so ambitiious, though women are reaching there....this leads to lot of ego clashes between couples. nonone has patience to mend their personal lives and give it a thought too sometimes in exchange of their career....
though HR can make policies for work life balances etc, as an organisation, it lies with the management to make sure that they are not too very demanding and also they shouldnt be putting too much pressure on the employees. when this is taken care, then it is left to the employees to mend their own personal lives.

Hi Deepak,
this figure is definitely shocking but the question is do we really have any ways to ensure that there is proper work life balance? The birth of Employee Engagement is bcos of ensuring that there is work life balance and also other reasons like, Retention. But at the same time, it would be sensible to see what people priority they set for themselves. A one man earning member in a family has to devote lot of hours in work, if it demands. A senior person in a company who drives the whole team has to set an example that his responsibilty towards the company is first.So, we cannot be judgemental in these cases. Every company is a profit driven company, they would get work out of you equal to the amount they pay you.But surely, HR managers are the one who can think out of the box and provide some valuable suggetsions and initiatives. This is definitely a big challenge for the HR community because a project manager or any team lead would be more worried to close the project before the deadline. So, convincing the entire management in a company and driving the same is tough. But nevertheless, it is possible. I would appreciate if we can also share some suggestions how to curb the issues.

let me be the devil's advocate .. what is the fun in living a dredge of the life with a person you have no bonding with. Come on.. its my life. we should live our life and of course, not to affect the other people. Its not that no one gives a chance for marriage to work on. But a foundation laid on malice and hatred will make a life drudgery. Believe me, one of my known person actually is now living a better life than he was earlier, nothingbad about the girl, but life has to go on..
Its an interesting take. Sounds very employee friendly and makes a perfect HR pitch. However, in a ultra-competitive job market, where maintaining top and bottom lines is the only dictat the organisation follows, I really doubt if such a thing can be implemented top-down. The only way in which this can be probably done is by empoering the employees and there managers to make decisions regarding work place, work timing and deliverables. An organisation cannot act as a nanny and think on behalf of its employees. Its individuals who have take responsibility of there own lives and find the best way forward.
Hello Deepak very precise work you have done in your blog, I really appreciate it teaches us a lesson why we should not break our relationship, which is a real loss for our children. But my concern is if the pair is not having a healthy understanding among themselves then lining together is useless. Even I have taken divorce and at that time my lawyer has taken bunch of money so I decided to have some knowledge of legal terms which really help me at the time of separation. But now I am really feeling alone. So I advice you to just take the decision of separation after a deep thought.
