Law Firm Allows Full-Time Parenting in the Workplace

September 18, 2009

Roxanne B. Conlin and Associates, a Des Moines, Iowa-based plaintiffs firm, is one of only a handful of firms in the country that allows parents to bring their babies to the office. This is not on-site day care; it is full-time parenting in the workplace. In Roxanne Conlin's experience, parents are so happy to keep their kids nearby that they are motivated to perform at the top of their game. And because they aren't constantly worrying whether their child is being fed or changed, they are better able to focus.
