When postpartum mothers return to the workplace, breastfeeding can alter their workday schedule, which is why the Boston Consulting Group has a lactation room initiative. With the lactation room, women have a private, quiet space to pump breast milk. While it may difficult for some companies to allocate space for breastfeeding, this type of initiative helps to reduce stress while increasing engagement and productivity. And as more and more employees strive to balance their personal and professional lives, this can help to promote work/life balance, too.
