Breastfeeding at work
Effective immediately, employers with 50 or more employees must provide breastfeeding workers with “reasonable break time†and a private, non-bathroom place to express breast milk during the workday, up until the child's first birthday. Employers are not required to pay for time spent expressing milk.
We do, in fact, have several employees effected by this. We have very nice private restrooms in our offices which we have made available for just this purpose. My question to this group - we can have other space available and still offer the private restroom and let the employee make the choice - are we complying?

Daily Q&A

How Do We Keep Our Best During Upheaval?

Things are getting scary for us. We recently had to downsize, and since then have lost some of our best people to other jobs. Aside from boosting their pay (which isn't feasible now), what practical steps can we take to keep them from quitting on us?
