Press Release Summary = Since 9/11, our country's values have shifted to the need to
spend more time with family and friends. Because of this, everyone needs Work-Life
Balance. The newest trend - Work-Life Balance Programs allow companies to
professionals and corporations a solution to manage both work and home.

Press Release Body = Every working person feels the need for work-life balance. The
legal community is recognizing the challenges as work-life balance was recently
addressed by The Boston Bar Association Task Force
(http://www.bostonbar.org/prs/fulfillment.htm). Although the findings address
lawyers, the problem extends to anyone in the profession.

A legal career is not an easy job. Attorneys' work in excess of 45 hours per week
because billable hour requirements measure performance. Judges' are overwhelmed
compared to years past because of increased docket caseloads and the many factors of
trials, hearings, motions and briefs. Legal staffs face increased stress because of
workloads, productivity and their value being determined by commitment and
performance.

Cost effective measure are common throughout Corporate America and the practice of
law is no different. Times have changed and attorneys no longer have one-on-one
secretaries, legal assistants or paralegals. Common practice is 3 sometimes 4
assignments to one staff member. Attorneys work their cases and assist other
attorneys at the same time. With so many roles to fulfill, maintaining a level of
productivity while managing stress of work and home makes life very complicated.

The latest and popular benefit offered in the legal community is work-life balance
programs. This benefit is proving not only to be an excellent resource for
recruitment, retention and morale boosting but is proven to increase employee focus,
reduce absenteeism, relieve stress and extend a level of order between career and
home. Work-life balance programs communicate concern for well being and willingness
to assist employees achieve balance.

The newest trend - errand and concierge services are giving legal professionals the
ability to ease stress and balance work and home. These "angels of time" bring hope
and offer a solution to maintain a level of order in their busy lives, are a breath
of fresh air and very affordable!

The work-life program consists of membership fee, tailored lists, company paid or
cost to employees, specific day for performance and during business hours (as long
as permissible). In the legal field for over 23 years, Jackie witnessed peers and
clients struggle with accomplishing all that needed to be done. "On the work front
were projects, deadlines, meetings, and professional functions. On the homefront
was grocery shopping, dinner, kids' functions, volunteerism, meeting repairmen,"
says Jackie Murphy, founder of EK Errands Express, Indianapolis, IN.

EK Errands Express was established based on the need for work-life balance and
desire to make life simple. "It was important to give back to the legal community
and I had two ways of doing that," says Murphy, "use my legal experience for
business services and at the same time offer personal solutions for home
responsibilities giving back time for home, family and leisure." EK Errands
Express' success is apparent by its popularity - more than 60 clients the first year
in business and the number continues to grow.

Everyone needs more time and the work-life balance benefits Errand & Concierge
Services offer are a WIN-WIN solution - personally or professionally.
