New York, NY – FULLBEAUTY Brands is taking a meaningful step toward supporting working parents by launching MilkMate’s all-in-one, multi-user breast pumping solution across its corporate offices in El Paso, TX, Indianapolis, IN, and New York, NY.
A recent McKinsey & LeanIn report found that 42% of women in fashion and retail industries say family responsibilities have negatively impacted their career progression, often leading to higher turnover rates. However, companies with lactation support programs see a 94% retention rate among working mothers, compared to the national average of just 59%.
With the launch of MilkMate, FULLBEAUTY Brands is reinforcing its commitment to creating a workplace where employees—especially working mothers—feel supported in balancing their careers and family responsibilities. The installation at the company’s Indianapolis office marks the first-ever MilkMate in the state of Indiana, a milestone in expanding access for breast pumping women across the country.
“At FULLBEAUTY Brands, we recognize that supporting our associates extends beyond the workplace – it’s about empowering them to thrive in both their professional and personal lives,” said Nicole Dombrowski, SVP, Head of Human Resources at FULLBEAUTY Brands. “By introducing MilkMate’s innovative solution across all FBB facilities, we are taking a tangible step toward reducing barriers for working parents. We are committed to fostering an inclusive, supportive environment where all employees, especially working mothers, feel valued and equipped to succeed.”
MilkMate’s solution and service streamlines the pumping experience for nursing mothers by eliminating the need to transport, sterilize, and assemble breast pumping equipment throughout the workday, ultimately saving valuable time and lightening the overall burden carried by working moms. The rollout of these stations demonstrates FULLBEAUTY Brands’ focus on practical, meaningful benefits that directly impact the day-to-day experience of their employees.
“We are thrilled to partner with FULLBEAUTY Brands in bringing MilkMate to their corporate offices,” said Patrice Meagher, Founder & CEO of MilkMate. “Every company that takes steps like this contributes to a larger movement of making workplaces more inclusive for working parents. We’re especially excited to see our first installation in Indiana and look forward to continuing to expand across the country.”
The introduction of MilkMate at FULLBEAUTY Brands represents a positive shift toward a more family-friendly workplace. While there is always more work to be done, this initiative underscores the company’s dedication to meaningful progress in employee support.
