Womble Bond Dickinson has devised a way for the firm's busy parents to take a little break from juggling caregiving and kids' schoolwork while working from home during the coronavirus pandemic.
About 30 of the trans-Atlantic firm's lawyers and staff have recorded themselves reading a favorite children's book, which the firm collected in an internal library, called WBD Reads. Womble parents can play the videos for their kids.
"Parents need resources for things to do with their kids in the middle of a workday," said WBD Reads' organizer, chief talent officer Cindy Pruitt, adding that the videos can give them the 15 minutes they need to send out an email.
