Creating a workplace where breastfeeding employees feel supported is an important step towards improving health, wellbeing and inclusion for working families.
In this short film, employers from the borough talk about the benefits of helping their employees juggle work with their new baby, while parents share their experiences of returning to and managing work while continuing to breastfeed. Through real-life experiences, the video highlights the positive impact that supportive workplaces can have on employee wellbeing, retention and family life.
The video is designed as a practical resource for both employers and employees, helping organisations understand their responsibilities and the steps they can take to create a supportive environment for breastfeeding families.
The film also outlines simple actions organisations can take to create breastfeeding-friendly environments, alongside information about the support and resources available to help employers get started.
Whether you're taking your first steps or looking to strengthen existing arrangements, becoming a breastfeeding-friendly workplace demonstrates your commitment to supporting employees at every stage of their infant feeding journey.
