I think for the work/life balance aspect of the professional fields of work there must be initiatives set off to get this program into motion. Some incentives could be a good idea, for instance the government could help the aid in the funding of some of these programs as long as the employers are willing to carry through. This would put the employer in charge of the programs but they would be funded initially by government programs. This would make the employee more likely to ask about getting the specific benefits, and set into motion a serious change from within workplaces all over. I believe that this is one way to initiate work/life balance benefits, and perhaps even some extra help for the employee. There are many ways to set off the work/life balance programs that the EEOC has lobbied to create. If the government mandated programs and forced companies to begin assistance programs, this may be seen as kind of a harsh way to solve the issue, but it would be just and fair, and would set off a serious of programs that will bring to light the issues at hand. Once all of these programs have been created the equity between man and woman in the law profession can finally be equal, which we need to instate if we ever hope to have equality in the workplace.
