Organizations offer many work-life balance plans, some workers especially men often do not feel that they can use them. Male workers feel that they cannot use an organization's offer of work-life plans, which is a disadvantage. Organizations do not promote such plan, which explains why men are not using the work plans. Since most men do not take advantage of such opportunity then it will hinder their growth within the company. I feel that men may feel this way more than women because most men are father’s and have children.
