Working Mothers: Panel Session For Alabama Employers & HR Personnel

The benefits for parents who choose to breastfeed are many: from bonding to increased immunity from illness in infants to long-term benefits such as decreased rates of obesity and asthma throughout childhood. However, the benefits aren’t limited to employees. Ensuring adequate access can make sure you are compliant with laws such as the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the new Providing Urgent Maternal Protections for Nursing Mothers (PUMP) Act, lead to lower health costs and even reduce employee’s sick days.

As a business owner, you can help ensure your employees are aware of the critical protections and resources available for helping balance employment and parenthood in Alabama.

Join us to hear from representatives from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division, Alabama WIC, Mother’s Milk Bank of Alabama, Alabama Breastfeeding Committee, and The Wellness Coalition to learn about the FMLA and the PUMP Act and programs that can provide your workforce with the support they need while expanding their families.

Who should attend: 

• Employers
• Small Business owners with one or more working nursing mothers
• Human Resources Managers/Supervisor
• Benefits Specialist
• EEO Officers
• Risk Management Specialist
• Employees
