My Employees

Thanks for the guest post by Jo Levy

My employees had been bothering me about looking into small business.xo for the longest time and I can truly say this is one of the times I wish I had listened to them. For the most part, my employees are really young and generally only offer suggestions that don't really add to the benefit of the business, but some of them are in college now and are learning from their business professors about things like streamlining work operations. It's actually pretty nice because they have all these new strategies I've never even heard of because I guess I'm an old fogey.

It's been years since I was in college! I'm still of the mindset that fax machines are the latest and greatest technology but I've realized I'm woefully behind when it comes to things like that. No one has to tell me I'm behind the times and I guess that's why I always gravitate towards hiring younger people. They really breathe fresh air into this small business of mine but their overall value will have to be determined.

Keep your Child Close

Parents do not really need this advice because they are genuinely interested in keeping their kids close to them, but it can still act as a powerful incentive to buy a baby carrier. Its popularity is soaring in modern societies because parents are increasingly busy and have less time to look exclusively after their child. A compromise such as the baby pouch was immediately embraced by young parents who need to split their time between family and more lucrative duties.

These devices are granting a lot of freedom, as the carrier can use his or her hands freely, while the baby is kept safely inside. There is a reason for which people try to stay close to their kids all the time because the strong bond can only be established when parents and kids interact all the time. For babies is it even more important to be kept close, as they are very vulnerable and can hurt themselves.

The best baby carriers combine the comfort that both parents and children seek with style, so one can wear them proudly on any occasion. It is particularly important to be able to take them outdoors because this is where they truly shine.
