Nessel Makes PUMP Act compliance effortless
Returning to work after having a baby is a major life transition. For many new mothers, it’s a moment of juggling infant care, adjusting to new routines, and figuring out how to continue breastfeeding while reentering the workplace. One of the most powerful ways employers can support this transition is by providing a private, well-equipped lactation space.
The PUMP Act: What employers need to know
The 2022 PUMP Act requires employers with more than 50 employees to offer a private lactation space — not a bathroom — for employees to express breastmilk.
But while compliance is critical, experts say employers have an opportunity to do more than just meet legal requirements. A well-designed lactation room tells working mothers that their health and time matter. And that message translates into stronger retention, morale, and performance.
Making compliance easier, and more meaningful
For many companies, space is tight, and budgets are tighter. That’s where Nessel comes in. Offering flexible solutions that avoid construction costs and lengthy renovation timelines, Nessel designs ready-to-use lactation room furniture and lactation pods.
- The Nessel Lactation Pods are ideal for offices without a spare room. With acoustic soundproof paneling, a lock, and an occupancy indicator, they are designed for privacy, creating a calm and comfortable space to pump. Available in multiple sizes, Nessel lactation pods can be easily integrated into any space.
- The Nessel Lactation Station instantly transforms any room into a fully functional lactation space with:
- a private refrigerator for the safe storage of breastmilk
- a sink for the proper cleaning of pumps and hands
- an outlet for charging up
- and a desk for productivity
- The Ergonomic Lactation Chair supports proper posture and reduces physical strain to make pumping comfortable and efficient.
As the leader in workplace lactation pods and lactation room solutions, Nessel makes compliance simple and support seamless.
Beyond compliance; cost savings
Supporting breastfeeding mothers isn’t just the right thing to do — it’s good business.
Studies show that 43% of women leave their jobs after returning from maternity leave. That loss of talent can be expensive and destabilizing.
On the flip side, companies that invest in nursing mother’s rooms often see significant cost savings due to improvements in retention, engagement, and overall employee well-being. By reducing attrition and absenteeism, companies can realize up to a 3x return on their investment in lactation space.
With health guidelines now recommending breastfeeding for up to two years when possible, more women may be pumping at work — and for longer. That makes thoughtful lactation spaces and well-designed lactation pods essential now more than ever.
Building a culture of care
Creating a lactation room isn’t just about complying with the PUMP Act.
It’s a financially smart investment.
And it’s a powerful opportunity to champion working mothers.
With lactation space solutions from Nessel, employers can turn compliance into compassion, and can create a workplace where women are empowered to thrive.
