The COVID-19 pandemic was a worldwide emergency, seen unrivalled rapid growth and has affected the numerous business areas. It has obligated numerous organisations to roll out revolutionary vicissitudes to the work-environment just as to their work-force, which made uncommon disturbances to their employees both personally and professionally. Researchers state that with the help of emotional quotient (EQ) as a central component, organisational behaviour subtleties can be understood and addressed to enhance employee engagement (EE). On the other hand, spiritual quotient (SQ) reinforces human consolidative impression of completeness and has the ability to think beyond materialistic life, which thrusts individuals to spiritual path and furthermore assists them to adapt to agonising conditions of life. This study revealed that the EQ and SQ are important aspects in service industries like IT and ITES in enhancing the EE during pandemic times, and correlation analysis showed a positive relationship among them.
