Title: Babies in the office - Addison Lee TV Programme Post by: Sunflower on July 20, 2012, 12:41:14 pm Did anyone see this programme this week? It was about the taxi firm Addison Lee letting office workers bring babies into the office.
I missed it. Was it any good? It is worth watching on iplayer?

I saw quite a bit of it - the last one I believe, but had a phone call at the end so don't know the final result. I found it absolutely fascinating!
Title: Re: Babies in the office - Addison Lee TV Programme Post by: Sunflower on July 24, 2012, 02:33:07 pm Thanks Jackie - will check it out. Can't wait to see what happens when the babies cry and disturb the office peace - I'm guessing some very mixed reactions.

Title: Re: Babies in the office - Addison Lee TV Programme Post by: Jackie G on July 24, 2012, 03:46:13 pm Yes, this link is ok, but Sunflower and Countrigal, I don't think the BBC iplayer allows you to view programmes outside the UK - something to do with the licence!
Title: Re: Babies in the office - Addison Lee TV Programme Post by: countrigal on July 24, 2012, 06:57:46 pm I can't view it from work, for sure. Blocked site! (security thing, ya know. :) ) So will try from home. We get some BBC broadcasting on my satelite, so I may watch for this and see if it ever gets televised. Would really be interested in seeing how a real office integrates babies into the workplace, with all the difference responsibilities babies come with.

Here is a link from msnbc. While I would have loved an on-site daycare, I don't really I would have been able to do my job with my children around all the time, even if I was assigned a "buddy". |
