Part 1: Why Lactation Accommodation Matters

Creating a workplace that supports lactating employees isn’t just a legal requirement—it’s a smart business decision. This introductory session is designed for leadership teams and HR professionals who want to better understand why lactation accommodation matters and what employers are required to provide under current law.

Presented by the Santa Rosa Metro Chamber, in partnership with WorkLife Law and First 5 Sonoma County, this awareness-building seminar will cover the legal landscape, equity considerations, and the business case for supportive lactation policies. Participants will walk away with a clearer understanding of how these accommodations impact employee retention, workplace culture, and overall organizational success.

This session is ideal for decision-makers looking to build more inclusive, family-friendly workplaces in Sonoma County.

Seminar will take place via Zoom.
