Love Contract : A way to hide weak HR policies

When I was working for Computer Science Corporation (CSC) in Hyderabad, I had my team leader Mr Kishore Nair. He was married to Mrs. Sapna Nair who was also working for CSC but in a different team. As per the policy, CSC had no issues with their marriage as long as they were working for different teams. And the only reason why they were required to work for two different teams was in case they decided to take leave together for any family function or any other reason; it would not impact the team much. Recently when Mr Nair had to go to US for a project for 1 year, the company gave the same opportunity to Mrs Nair to go to US but on Indian salary. These type of flexible and employee friendly policies make sure that the company does not need a “love contract” to control the behaviour of the employees.
