Beyond the Basics
Are you ready to move your lactation support program to Silver or Gold?
Every Texas Mother-Friendly Worksite (TMFW) will be a little different. It depends on the size of the employer, the needs of the workforce, and the nature of the worksite. Some employers provide a basic policy. Others find they can review and expand TMFW components to further support employees and their families. Employers who provide added offerings may earn the prestigious silver and gold TMFW designations.
While the added components are not required, businesses implementing more than the basics report:
- Improved retention
- Reduced absenteeism
- Increased loyalty
- Reduced health-care expenses
Check out the TMFW Silver and Gold Designation Checklist or print it out to share with those working with you to earn designation.
Some examples of how companies can offer extras beyond the Basic TMFW designation criteria include:
