Companies that used to wave goodbye to their female employees once they started families are now looking for ways to help them balance motherhood with their professional lives. Ernst & Young is one of a growing number of employers offering new mothers a variety of services to help them shift back into the workforce.

While my place of employment had a breastfeeding room, there was only one, and, you had to sign up to use it. People had the lunch hours tied up for months on end, but, at least the company could claim they had a place for mother’s to breastfeed. I’m not sure if I would have done anything differently if there had been onsite infant advice, that seems kind of nebulous, but, that’s just me.
While I wonder if these are token efforts on the part of businesses, or, if they are really useful benefits, the idea that more businesses are thinking about these topics is a step in the right direction
