Work from home or bring home to work? New trend brings ‘day of relief’
More companies are offering staff the option to bring their kids into the office during the school holidays, saving them money and in some cases, their sanity.
About 250 children and 150 parents piled onto level 26 of professional services firm KPMG’s Barangaroo office in Sydney last week for an Easter-themed day of face painting, dancing and biscuit decorating.
At PwC in Melbourne, 200 children filled the office for balloon twisting and tug of war. At hotel technology platform SiteMinder in Sydney, 60 children younger than 10 spent the day gaming, face painting and puzzle building.
