Work Life Balance Matters ─ A Lot
One of the things that women of all ages told us over and over again in the Thin Pink Line Survey was how important the issue of work life balance is to them.
Yet, work life balance is still considered as an accommodation ─ and a costly one at that by many employers. Au contraire, according to Balanomics™, an initiative designed to encourage employers in the legal profession to enjoy the increased productivity and profitably that high performers contribute IF they have the right kind of support. More specifically, Balanomics™ is calling for Corporate Law Departments, Law Firms and Professional Associations to sign a “Statements of Support” which outlines actions each can take to change culture for both men and women.
In an economic crisis such as the one we are in now, the opportunity to leverage talent is more important than ever. Balanomics™ is kicking off the discussion with a symposium later this month. If you are in the legal profession, don’t miss this. Deborah Epstein Henry, Founder and President of Flex-Time Lawyers LLC and a thought leader in this area is a Balanomics™ Founding Partner and a terrific speaker.
And even if you’re not in the legal world, you may want to attend the symposium to get some ideas you can apply to your industry!
