According to The Mom Project, nearly half of highly skilled women opt to leave the workforce following motherhood. However, companies that implement lactation programs witness remarkable employee retention rates ranging from 83% to 94% after maternity leave, surpassing the national average of only 59%. These statistics highlight the significant impact of supportive initiatives on retaining talented and experienced female professionals in the workplace.
