Overview
The State of Vermont is supportive of encouraging young families to live and work in Vermont. The Infants in the Workplace Policy (13.13) allows employees the option of bringing their infants (6 weeks – 6 months) into the workplace. Research shows that parents/infants being together supports critical bonding:
- Healthy infant brain development
- Parental well-being
- Continuity of work / decreases time loss / improves job satisfaction
