The difficult things in life have a way of becoming easy. The easy things only become more difficult. While choosing the best candidate for a position and evaluating his or her performance and future promise has always been a difficult task for law firm managers, the equation for management’s involvement in balancing the competing interests of an employee’s life has always been simple�stay out.
As society continues to be more prosperous, despite the state of the economy at any given moment, the desire of professionals to create a balance among professional life, home life, social obligations and other interests becomes very significant. In order to recruit top-level professionals effectively and to manage the business of a law firm, law firm managers must become increasingly aware and sensitive to the multiple personal interests that lawyers, paralegals and support staff desire to pursue outside the workplace.
