IMPLEMENTATION
Office Jobs
Although baby programs have been successful in a wide range
of industries, most of the organizations with active baby programs
are office or cubicle-based, and several retail stores also regularly
allow babies. In some companies, there may be positions which
lend themselves to bringing babies and others in which babies
clearly aren't appropriate. For example, a worker pouring steel in
a foundry obviously couldn't have a baby present, but an office
worker in the same company might.
Some companies temporarily move prospective parents to a
different position to allow them to bring their baby to work.
Debbie Butler of Valley Credit Union explained that she thinks
it's important to "have flexibility in people's work hours." She
said that companies need to figure out what an employee "can do
if they can't do their regular job--what else can they do." She
said that Valley is big on cross-training, so that
If someone was in a public branch with their baby
and it wasn't working, if they were cross-trained
for the call center, they could maybe work there for
a period of time.
