When the industrial age has changed the way business is also changed the way children were raised. The children could no longer remain with their mothers when both parents had to work, where a mother had to choose another life away from groups and a work environment or one without seeing their children most of the day.
However, the 21st century has changed all that. Women today are balancing their lives family life and societies beware. In order to retain high quality employees, many firms are creating environments that enable a better balance between work and life. One way companies are doing is allowing babies in the workplace.
For six consecutive years, San Jose Magazine named to Valley Credit Union, San Jose, California, one of the "50 Best Places Work in Silicon Valley." decisive factors to be named the winner of this award was the only employee benefits, among them "Babies in the Workplace" that allows employees to babies up to eight months for the fund with his mother at their workstation.

Fund President and CEO, Jim Ott, commended the program for its effectiveness in reducing the shortage of staff, eliminating the need for temporary staff during the holidays, and reduce the cost of childcare for parents.

So far, five babies are born in the family and PostcardMania have already been selected for key positions in society when they grow up. Soraia Maria, daughter Melissa for Bradshaw, was one of the first PostcardMania to get a baby and from day one, he was awarded the "title" Vice President of Child Development.

"I want his working life to be as close as possible his home and if that means having children at work, facilitating the creation of a gym or a studio for the rest of our IT guys have to draw all the sleepless nights, so that's what I do.
