There are parents who, while working, are so lucky to be close to their children. For instance, those who opt for co-working facilities with kindergarten like Piano C in Milan or the employees of companies that provide for a crèche.
As proved by many studies and also by the survey carried out by WOW!, the possibility of having one’s children close means less stress and helps to increase the wellbeing of both parents and children.
That’s why we support the Italian initiative “Kids at Work with Mum and Dad” organized by Il Corriere della Sera and sponsored by Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri, Dipartimento per le Politiche della Famiglia to support work-life balance.
In 2014, it features more side events and takes a most important value, for this is the “Year of the Penguin”, namely the European “Year of Reconciling Work and Family Life”. A sweet family of penguins is its symbol: not accidentally, a species who, by instinct, follows sharing strategies in the care of their cubs… even exchanging their roles!
