Dear All,
Both Husband and wife are working in a same organisation.
Both have a good track record of working in the same organisation.
They are working in different departments & they have to interact with all their colleagues.Since few months the wife is facing problems from her husband.Her husband don't want her to interact with the male colleagues.
But without interacting its not possible for her to work.
Though her husband looks very professional and interacts well with the staff.
In this case what can a HR do?They have already done a counselling and it resulted into more complications.
At this stage what can a female employee do?

After going through your post i personally feel that her husband wants her not to interact with a particular male employee(Its not with all the male employees). Please check on the same. If possible bring that lady in to find out what exactly is the issue between them because of which she has an impact in her professional life or else talk to someone to whom she is really very close to gather some info. May be you can get an clear idea on how to resolve this issue.

Dear Kamal Amrohi,
Sorry to hear situation like this. Did you had a counseling session with the mentioned lady employee or was that a feedback given by any other counselor?
Just state when did this problem started? How long are they working in the company and was this right from the start of the period or it started recently?
Again the best thing the HR can do is to move the husband by giving a passive promotion where he would not be able to have time to check on to his wife's activities. This is only because you have stated that both are good resources of the company.
Again you shall check with the lady employee, if can that is this problem due because of all male employee or specifically some employees.
If you are a HR, this would be your real task man.... ;) Anyway All the Best! :)

I suggest HR to terminate husband , let wife continue to work, for the simple reason he is narrow minded.
It doesnt matter how professional he is in his interactions with colleagues. Its a clear indication of his mind that when it comes to opposite sex he has different intentions. He appears to be professional but internally he looks
opposite sex as sex objects.......

Hi,
there must be some kind of problem, try to find the root cause, coz nobody in today's world gets so typical about such small matters, tell them there are two kinds of people on earth one male and another female, you can't avoid the opposite sex if you want to work in today's environment.
This case could be coz of one particular male employee, find out the root cause.

hi,
Good Topic especially for the HR :)
I have few suggestions
The best thing is put them together in the same department
or
Assign work in such a way that they need to work with another employee who is from the opposite gender for a long time so that wont get enough time to focuss on their partner
This will help to end up the solution immediately both for the HR, for them and to their collegues. Either they will go together understanding their mistake or else soon you can see the seperation. Because work place is for work and not a place to raise up ones personal matters..

Dear Mahr,
Thanks for your response.
She had a counselling session with Hr.She is facing this problem from past six months.They have been working in the company for around 5yrs.It was a love cum arrange marriage.Both are from same caste and religion.
They both are into different departments.She is good looking and she is having a good communication.She interacts well with everyone,even her husband too.
Its not a particular problem with one male colleague,but with almost everyone.
She was bit depressed and was in a plan to resign.So what emotional support we can give to this employee.Our company won't entertain to promote people basing on these type of problems.
Thank you

This kind of situation is very common where husband n wife r working together........

there r some steps dat can b taken to check this prob...-

1st, to give the husband more responsible work (bt nt overload, else this wld detoriorate the situation) n motivate him fr work, applaud him in public.......so dat his norrow minded ness slightly reduces....

2nd, if above doesnt help, then the HR should take the husband n very tactfully warn him dat if his behaviour doesnt change n hampers this other employee's (wife) performance, den the company/HR will hav to take strict action against him.......(if reqd also make him xplain dat if he doesnt behave positively, his job may come under risk).....

this will really make him come to trackk!!

3rd, being an HR u can also make the lady shift to other branches if u hav to save everything....offcourse aftr counselling with the wife in this regard.....as some1 already mentioned above that its imprtant to know the root cause, n the wife's close frnd/colleague can only throw some ray of hope ...

and its really nice to see dat within a very short period of time of a day.....there has been a lot of good responses, n few bad responses even.....for example- Mr.Roy

Yes i agree Mr. Ravishankar -how can Mr. Roy advice in such a way..........its nt at all a solution..n its really nt fair
