2017 Webinar Series

The 2017 Business Professional Webinar Series is intended to reach and further educate employers and human resource organizations on federal and local laws and best practices to support their breastfeeding employees. Supportive employers see greater returns on investment through employee retention, increased productivity, lower healthcare costs, and decreased sick days.

Increasing the number of supportive worksites increases the success of breastfeeding mothers and is a key recommendation in the Surgeon General’s Call to Action to Support Breastfeeding; the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention Guide to Evidence-Based Interventions and is a goal of the Nebraska Breastfeeding Coalition’s strategic plan.
