(October 6, 2008, from the Plain Dealer): “Imagine being able to order your family’s dinner from your work computer in the morning and get it delivered to your office just before you leave for the day. Or bringing your grocery list, your dry cleaning or that pair of shoes with the worn heels to the office so someone else can run those pesky errands for you. Those are some of the perks the Calfee, Halter & Griswold LLC law firm now offers its 330 employees — both lawyers and support staff — in Cleveland and Columbus. A new program aims to take some of the hassle out of trying to juggle work, family and free time.”
The article goes on to describe a series of family-friendly services the firm has introduced, many of which also involve buying locally, and references Flex-Time Lawyers LLC, a consulting firm focusing on family-friendly workplaces.
