Join us as Carmen Valverde gives us information on Breastfeeding in the Workplace.
Carmen has been working with the Kansas Breastfeeding Coalition for the past 3 years to improve the breastfeeding landscape in Southwestern Kansas. Currently, she is the local coordinator for Latin Lactation in Southwestern Kansas. Their mission is to promote breastfeeding in our community, to improve the health of babies and children in Southwest Kansas.
Latin Lactation in Southwestern Kansas is requesting feedback in order to improve support for employers who support their breastfeeding employees. Federal law requires employers to provide a reasonable break time for an employee to extract breastmilk for her child. We know that supporting breastfeeding employees has proven to increase employee retention and productivity. It can also lower healthcare costs and decrease sick days. Latin Lactiation is here to help you navigate the unknown of supporting your breastfeeding employees!
On the menu: Grilled Chicken Breasts, Smokey Cheesy Baked Potato Casserole, Green Beans, Yeast Rolls with butter & Fudgy Brownies!
