Mother-Friendly Worksite

Creating a lactation support policy for your organization shapes the culture and attitudes within the organization and reflects a commitment to improving employee well-being.

The policy should clearly state what the employees can expect from the organization and what the organization expects from them. Some find it necessary to have a policy in place first and develop the rest of the program as part of a policy implementation plan, while others find that the approval of a formal policy is the end product of the implementation process.

After completing this step, consider applying for Texas Mother-Friendly Worksite designation.
