1. SPONSOR MICHELLE TO SPEAK AND/OR PROVIDE BOOKS FOR YOUR EMPLOYEES

Sponsor Michelle Nichols, founder of the Hug Your Kids Today movement, to speak at company conferences and events. She will happily personalize and autograph the books. In a competitive job market, this can result in lower turnover, training expenses and medical costs, and higher productivity, wellness and employee engagement.

For example, after a recent significant layoff, a large company hired Michelle to speak and provided books to all their employees to keep their remaining employees motivated and engaged.

HYKT impacts businesses and families because work-life issues affect profits.

According to a recent issue of Working Mother magazine, here's what two CEOs of major corporations said about work-life issues:

H. Fisk Johnson, CEO S.C. Johnson & Son said, “A company will only do well if it has the best and brightest talent. And work/life programs help us attract and retain great talent because these programs are valued. Particularly in soft economic times, these programs are even more valuable.”

James Cornelius, CEO Bristol-Myers Squibb said, “Even during times when the external business environment is less stable, we have seen the benefit of our commitment to work/life programs. These programs help us attract and retain the talent we need to drive our business.”
