Employers in North Carolina have gone to extraordinary measures to support and protect families. We want to celebrate you! With so many families working from home right now, more organizations qualify than ever before. Apply today to receive a Breastfeeding Friendly Award. Breastfeeding-Friendly Community Partners are businesses or organizations that welcome breastfeeding families. Breastfeeding-Friendly Employers are workplaces that have made accommodations to support breastfeeding employees. Providing support for nursing families at work is good for your business. Hundreds of companies across America provide lactation support programs as part of their family friendly benefit platform. They’ve learned that lactation accommodations at work produce a 3 to 1 return on investment which is attributed to:
- Lower health care costs due to healthier babies and parents
- Reduced rate of absenteeism due to infant illness (among both mothers and fathers)
- Lower turn over rates
- Improved employee productivity and loyalty.
More than ever, we all need to work together to keep families healthy and safe. Learn more..
