Career and Kids has an interesting post about companies that actually work to keep new mothers in their jobs. The Forbes article mentions benefits like on-site daycare and flex-time that all parents have been crying for.

  • This is more than just the companies being nice, the article reads. It’s a matter of survival. Retaining the most talented employees has become a cutthroat part of business in the ever-tightening job market.

In addition, encouraging new mothers to nurse and providing them with the support to do so, saves companies money in insurance premiums.

Do any of you have family-friendly workplaces? What is it like?
