Baby-Mommy Buddies
Talk about mom-friendly companies…
The Human Resources department at a Deerfield, Michigan accounting firm partners pregnant women with other employees who have recently had babies, so that moms-to-be can ask questions and get support. The “buddies” also assist the new moms in making the transition back to work.
The buddies are encouraged to meet on company time, go out for lunches together and participate in relationship-building exercises, says Kristen Cifolelli, HR Manager for the company, Plante & Moran.
Moms, does your employer have mom-friendly policies?
Marketers, are you offering new parents incentives to stay—or cutting benefits to keep costs down during the Recession?
