I just read an interesting article in USA Today about bringing babies to work. This is a new but growing trend among employers who are trying to attract talented employees and offer a good work/life balance. According to the Parenting in the Workplace Institute, over 80 companies accross the nation now allow babies in the workplace. According to the Society of Human Resource management, the number of companies who allow children in the work place on an occassional basis jumped to 29% last year, up from 22% in 2006. The article points out many pro’s and con’s, but I can see the largest con for me. I wouldn’t get any work done. Of course, that is just me personally. Apparantly, many of these companies are able to pull it off!
