“There have been a number of BRIGHT babies born in the last two years, so the opportunity to ensure the flexibility and comfort for our working moms was right in front of us – it wasn’t a human resources box to check. These were our team members, and their families, who are critical to the success of our business. With the two in-office mother’s rooms established we took the additional step to obtain the Breastfeeding Friendly Workplace designation from the MN Department of Health. We shared this achievement on social media to highlight how important this aspect of wellness is to BRIGHT.” – BRIGHT Research Partners
