Businesses enjoy return on investment in breastfeeding-friendly workplace
Employers who provide a space where employees can express and store milk or breastfeed a baby quickly realize the benefits of doing so.
According to the New Mexico Breastfeeding Task Force, employers who comply with state and federal laws requiring them to provide a clean and private space for lactating mothers and to offer flexible break time so mothers can breastfeed or pump milk experience less absenteeism, lower health care costs and turnover rates, higher productivity and employee loyalty and positive community perception.
