Advertising Agency to get ‘breast-feed at work’ award
July 26, 2008
Interesting topic… an Advertising Agency is going to get a ‘breast-feed at work’ award. I fully understand the plight of these parents at work… daycare is not an option for 6 months old or younger for the most part. So there are very little options for new parents in regards to keeping a job and and a family.
However little babies at work? It really depends on how the arrangement is setup. Children can be a terrible distraction if they have infant colic for example. It’s a fairly common condition where a child literally screams for sustained periods of time for no apparent reason. However if the child is well behaved for the most part.. this could work… perhaps a quiet room with couch and TV could be provided for privacy when it’s breast-feeding time.. (if the women opts for it of course).
The Sherry Matthews Advocacy Marketing advertising agency is scheduled to be honored for allowing its employees to breast-feed at work and bring their children to the office for the first six months after birth.
Full Story
Overall not a bad policy… as long as it is sustainable in an office environment and the distraction level is minimal.
