The Problem
Most organisations are trying. The mothers just need something better.
Half of mothers don't consider their current lactation room good enough. Not because organisations don't care - but because the bar for what actually works is higher than most people realise.
2 in 3
mothers unsatisfied with lactation facilities at work
71%
stop breastfeeding earlier than they want to
25 to 33%
leave within 12 to 18 months of returning
50 to 150%
of salary to replace them
The Untold
They rarely complain. But they notice. And so do you - in your retention numbers.
Scientific research from the University of Groningen shows that the quality of lactation facilities directly correlates with how supported mothers feel at work. A proper space is not a perk. It is a signal that says: we thought of you.
The Solution
The solution is simpler than you think.
A private, quiet space for breastfeeding and pumping. Plug-and-play, operational on day one. Tested and validated by mothers. 100% consider it a proper lactation space.
Not enough spaces, or not good enough? We've got you.
Inside the Pod
Four things that make the difference.
Privacy
Opaque walls. Class A soundproofing. Controlled access. Mothers know no one can see or hear them.
Comfort
Adaptive lighting. Proper seating. A mirror. Small things that lower the threshold to actually use the space.
Hygiene
Full air refresh every 54 seconds. Adjustable airflow. Surfaces built for frequent, easy cleaning.
Access
QR code, app or badge. Integrates with existing systems. No friction. No barrier.
What it Delivers
Improves retention in your 25 to 40 cohort
Reduces risk of prolonged leave
Supports DEI and ESG goals
Strengthens employer branding
Works consistently across all locations, not just head office
A Few Questions to Help You Think It Through
Does your lactation room meet legal requirements?
Have you asked mothers what they actually think of it?
How many women return from maternity leave each year?
What is your retention rate in that group at 12 and 18 months?
Do you have enough space - on every floor, at every location?
These are the questions that matter. We are happy to think them through with you.
