MATT DRISCOLL: LOVES BOOB JUICE >>>
Within Reach, a family health care advocate group based out of Seattle, has named the City of Tacoma the “2008 Outstanding Employer.â€
For what, you ask?
Promoting, supporting, and showing leadership when it comes to breastfeeding and the workplace, that’s what. Apparently a job with Tacoma is now one of the friendliest gigs in Washington for the lactating.
Plenty of studies have shown the benefits of breast feeding. As a relatively new parent with a wife that’s possessed with baby research and doing what’s healthiest for the wee-one, I’ve heard all about it. In fact, I’m sold on it. Couple the research with the fact that boob juice is free, and it’s enough to turn me into a regular breast feeding PR guy, doing my job to get the word out whenever possible.
But this is about Tacoma, not me and my love of lactation. Within Reach named Tacoma the 2008 Outstanding Employer, and applauded the city for creating a lactation room in the Municipal Building for employees to use. Tacoma also promotes breastfeeding when discussing maternity leave with employees and has a progressive lactation policy shared with all employees when they’re hired.
Well done, City of Tacoma, for making breastfeeding an option for your employees. Perhaps now all the businesses that call you home will follow suit. Perhaps now you should ask them to.
