Creating a supportive environment for pregnant employees is not just a gesture of goodwill; it’s a legal obligation.
According to HSE.co.uk, businesses must provide rest breaks in spaces that include the ability to lie down, are hygienic and private for milk expression (excluding toilets), and offer milk storage, like a refrigerator.
By transforming an existing room into a dedicated nursing room, you not only comply with regulations but also demonstrate a commitment to the wellbeing of your employees, fostering a culture of inclusivity and support that attracts and retains top talent.
MumPod® specializes in creating custom nursing room solutions, transforming existing spaces into comfortable and compliant lactation areas.
We manage the entire process, from design to installation, ensuring a seamless experience.
While ACAS.org.uk notes that paid pump breaks and dedicated facilities aren’t legally mandated, providing a nursing room demonstrates a strong commitment to employee wellbeing. This investment fosters a more supportive work environment, which directly benefits productivity and job satisfaction for returning mothers.
