Interviewed by @hrdive on the topic of #breastfeedingatwork benefits🙏🙏🙏
"Offering such benefits can often be an easy lift for employers...and can also help companies signal their awareness of and care for the non-work demands of their employees." @emilieshumway@pumpspotting

If you're in an area with substantial or high spread of #COVID19, wear a mask in public indoor settings, even if fully vaccinated. If you're fully vaccinated & in a low spread area, you can still consider wearing a mask.
