Standard Bank Namibia has joined calls for breastfeeding-friendly workplaces by providing a dedicated space for employees who are breastfeeding or need to express breast milk.
“Standard Bank Namibia established the mommy’s room to provide employees with a welcoming environment where they can express and store breast milk with dignity, comfort, and confidence,” she says.
Standard Bank Namibia health and well-being specialist Cicile Fouche says supporting breastfeeding mothers goes beyond providing a physical space.
Standard Bank Namibia employee Dinelao Gabriel-Nandjigua says the facility has helped reduce the pressure associated with balancing work responsibilities and breastfeeding.
“Every time I walk into the mommy’s room, I am filled with a genuine sense of relief and gratitude.
