2024/25 Healthy Savannah REACH Breastfeeding Landscape Assessment - Employee Survey

In 2022 The Pump Act was passed to add additional rights and protections for nursing parents. As part of the ongoing work with the Healthy Savannah/YMCA REACH grant, we want to understand if businesses throughout the county are aware of The Pump Act, what changes and policies have been implemented, and what supports may be needed. We also want to know how much employees know about their rights, and how they can be supported in advocating for those rights. Please take a few minutes to complete this survey about your experiences within your workplace. This information will help us as we look for ways to support and encourage families while creating a breastfeeding friendly community.
