Why not? Twenty-first century companies are adapting to their employees’ individual work styles and have already evolved to provide facilities that integrate their families into the office life. Luxuries such as a daycare center, massage parlor, planned neighborhoods, office play dates, team retreats, and so forth, are bringing families into the workplace on a consistent basis. If the whole bunch is at the office enjoying themselves, why not begin training the next generation of workers?

Why can’t the reluctant teen Todd be incentivized to learn about programming while at a corporate event? Maybe he could pull up a chair and work alongside mom on Wednesdays. Perhaps toddler Tammy could learn the fundamentals of the company brand while playing with company-endorsed play sets. Dad might pitch a great idea to the Design team on his way back from a relaxing massage session.

Wouldn’t hiring costs and recruitment be greatly amortized if whole families were incrementally hired instead of assuming the risks of on-boarding individuals outside the corporate community? If we carefully look at where corporate life is at today, that question is not as outrageous as it sounds.
