Babies in the Workplace

   The ECONOMY IS A MESS. Companies are LAYING OFF EMPLOYEES. Families are STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS MEET. But Babies-At-Work Programs can make it much easier for companies to retain employees and for parents to raise a family.

   The Parenting in the Workplace Institute is rolling out an initiative to start new baby programs. The first company we extensively helped to start a formal program has been thrilled with the results. Read their press release and the first major article about their program (more pieces are expected soon). Two other companies have also signed up. We now have all of the resources and information to ensure the success of new baby programs. We can prove that well-structured babies-at-work programs work--and work incredibly well--and we can dramatically increase the numbers of companies with baby programs (especially considering that baby programs cost almost nothing to implement).

   But I can't do this alone. Everything the Institute has done to date has been on top of my working full-time as a legal secretary and raising my two young daughters (I'm amicably divorced), so I need donations to enable me to take the time off work to recruit and assist new companies to start programs. Every $200 raised will enable me to devote the time and resources for one new company to start a baby program. Updates on the project will be posted on my blog.
