Topic: Texas Mother-Friendly Worksite Program

Program Description:

Mother-Friendly Worksites are businesses that proactively support employees who choose to breastfeed their infants. Creating and implementing a Mother-Friendly policy is both simple and inexpensive. The most basic Mother-Friendly policies need only provide a private space, flexible scheduling for break time and other basic support so that mothers may express and store breastmilk for their babies.

Every employer can develop a policy that suits the unique needs of the business and its employees. By creating a customized policy and putting basic elements in place, mother-friendly businesses support employees to ease the transition back to work after parental leave while continuing to provide their babies with the very best nutrition. Earning your Texas Mother-Friendly Worksite designation lets current and potential employees, customers, and the community know you care about your employees and their families.
