Abstract
With more women entering the workforce and the increasing trend of dual career couples, the paper examines the movement in the Indian context concerning its effect on organizations and vice versa. In this study, we empirically try to observe if the spouse's employment status affects the engagement with the employee and if there is a difference between the dual-career and single career couples concerning organizational policies. Through this paper, in light of this trend of both husband and wife being employed, we try to understand if the family-supportive work environment impacts the employees' engagement levels. Consequently, do the organizations now need to take cognizance of the phenomena and initiate practical implications to win this respect?
