Supporting mental health for mothers in the workplace as we enter 2025 💚 As we approach the new year, it’s a great opportunity to reflect on how we can better support mothers in the workplace. For many working moms, balancing career, family, and self-care can be overwhelming. But with the right support, they can thrive professionally and personally. 💡 How to Support Mental Health for Working Moms: • Encourage Open Communication: Create a culture where mothers feel comfortable discussing their needs. • Provide Mental Health Resources: Offer counseling services and wellness programs to support emotional well-being. • Foster Work-Life Balance: Flexible work schedules and designated spaces for personal time are key to managing family and professional commitments. As we look ahead to the new year, let’s prioritize mental health for working mothers and create environments where they can thrive. Investing in support for moms is not only beneficial for their well-being but also for the overall success of the organization. #MentalHealthMatters #MothersInTheWorkplace #WorkplaceWellness #EmployeeWellBeing #WorkLifeBalance #SupportMothers #HealthyWorkplace #NewYearNewSupport #workandmother

Supporting Mothers in the Workplace ⚖️🤱 Ensuring that mothers feel supported at work isn’t just good practice - it’s also a legal obligation. In many regions, employers are required to provide accommodations for breastfeeding mothers and meet certain regulations to create a mother-friendly workplace. Key Compliance Requirements for Employers: • Break Time for Nursing: Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), employers must provide break time for nursing mothers to express breast milk for one year after the child’s birth. • Private Spaces for Pumping: Employers are required to provide a private, non-bathroom space for nursing mothers to pump. This ensures that employees have a comfortable, dignified environment to express milk. • Storage and Refrigeration: Employers must also provide a safe and clean place to store breast milk. By complying with these regulations, companies don’t just meet legal requirements - they show their commitment to supporting working mothers. At Work & Mother, we help businesses stay compliant and provide solutions that foster inclusivity, respect, and support for all employees. Is your workplace fully compliant with these regulations? Contact us today to learn how we can help your company create a more supportive, mother-friendly workplace. #ComplianceInTheWorkplace #MotherhoodAndWork #BreastfeedingAtWork #SupportWorkingMoms #WorkplaceWellness #LegalObligations #WorkAndMother

The Power of Rest Spaces 🌱 As companies continue to recognize the importance of employee well-being, providing dedicated rest spaces is emerging as a key factor in boosting productivity. 📊 The Data: * Employees who get adequate sleep are 20% more productive. (National Sleep Foundation) * Companies that prioritize wellness initiatives see a 21% increase in productivity. (Harvard Business Review) Rest isn’t just about relaxation; it’s essential for focus, creativity, and overall job performance. For working parents, having a designated area to recharge during the workday can help reduce stress, maintain energy levels, and improve job satisfaction. As organizations strive to create healthier work environments, investing in rest spaces may be one of the most effective ways to enhance productivity and support a balanced, engaged workforce. Is your company ready to take the next step in supporting employee wellness? #WorkplaceWellness #EmployeeProductivity #RestSpaces #WellnessAtWork #BusinessTrends #WorkLifeBalance #EmployeeWellBeing #workandmother

Navigating New Motherhood in the Workplace 👶💻 💡 Heading back to the office after maternity leave can feel overwhelming, but with a little planning, you’ve got this! Here are a few tips to help make the transition smoother during your first two weeks back: 1. Set clear boundaries – Make sure your work schedule includes time for pumping or nursing - block the calendar holds out in advance, and communicate that to your team. 2. Take it slow – You don’t have to dive back into everything at once. Prioritize only your most important tasks and give yourself grace. 3. Use your resources – Whether it’s a pumping suite or a quiet room, know your rights to a private space. Also keep in mind most insurance covers lactation consultants - we recommend proactively booking check ins - peep our breastfeeding guide for recommended timing. 4. Lean on your support system – whether it’s family, friends, or colleagues - people want to help, don’t be afraid to ask. If your workplace doesn’t have a dedicated space, let your leadership know about Work&Mother. Our suites make the transition easier for moms and offer the privacy and support you need. Share this with your boss to make your office a more mom-friendly space! 💪 #WorkingMoms #BackToWork #WorkplaceWellness #WorkAndMother
