More and more companies across the US are allowing parents to bring their babies to work. Three parents put the idea to the test. Click the highlighted link to read their stories. How do you feel about this growing trend?
A Harvard Study of 168 countries, measuring how different governments meet the needs of working families, found the US to be in the bottom five. But rather than do anything so tedious as campaign for reasonable terms, American lobbyists have instead thought more laterally, with a softly, softly, looky-after-baby approach: bring your baby to work with you. Until it can crawl, it can think of your workplace as liberty hall.

I don't think I would want to take my baby to work - I mean, how would you get any work done?

Steph02, this is a very encouraging story, but I imagine they are talking about practically new-born babies in swaddling - rather than lively toddlers - crawling around the office and putlling at everything within reach! :)
I mean, most mother can't think straight while babies are very young! How would they concentrate on work?
:)
Still, it is a lovely story!
Thankis for posting it.
