Corporate Lactation Programs

BENEFITS FOR THE EMPLOYER

Return on investment is the bottom line in assessing the value of new programs. Research shows that providing a lactation support program is not only highly desired by breastfeeding employees who return to work after child birth, it can also improve the company’s return on investment by saving money in health care and employee expenses. Companies that provide time and space for women to express their milk when they must be apart from their babies have been proven to enjoy significant cost savings, including:

• Lower Rates of Absenteeism
• Lower Health Care Costs
• Better Retention of Employees
• Higher Productivity and Company Loyalty
