[quote=Anonymous]I think that if you want to be supportive to PARENTS (not just moms) you definitely need to offer the flexibility to work from home as needed, for a sick kid, child care falling through, etc. I don't think you need to offer permanent telework -- the flexibility to WFM as needed is more important. I also think that there are things you can do to help new moms transition back to work successfully. This could include part-time for several weeks, and a few days of regularly scheduled telework for the first few months. But permanent telework 1/2x week would be a nice perk for everyone, and probably help balance work-life stuff for all. It is a nice perk, as long as it doesn't affect productivity. I think you need to research how to do it in a way that keeps productivity up and doesn't disrupt the office. Don't just do it willy-nilly then declare it a failure. [/quote]
