Time Magazine Article / Global Possibilities

Time Magazine just published an article (online as well as in the issue on newsstands today) about babies at work which mentions the Parenting in the Workplace Institute:

Who's the Boss?

I found it really interesting that the one "naysayer" in the article doesn't appear to have actually tried a babies-at-work program.  These programs are very different (and scarier) in theory than in practice.  Everyone I've talked to at companies that have formal programs believes that they are beneficial and successful in practice (even many people who previously thought it was a really bad idea in theory).

On another note, this article today from the United Kingdom (Pressure on New Parents to Return to Work) talks about how economic factors are forcing mothers back to work when their babies are very young.  The potential impact of babies in the workplace is evidently not limited to the United States...
