43% of all women leave their employer within 6 months of returning from maternity leave, making this the most vulnerable time in a womens career. This has a cascading, negative impact for employers and employees alike. But there is something employers can do to change this equation: support breastfeeding mothers with proper lactation space.
Nessel provides everything organizations need to create safe and sanitary lactation spaces. For employers with an existing room, Nessel offers an all-in-one lactation station. For those without, Nessel offers lactation pods. Additionally, Nessel provides consulting and architectural services to implement these solutions.
Nessels patented lactation station instantly converts any room into a clean and functional nursing mothers room. Key features:
portable sink to clean hands and pumps (no plumbing or construction necessary)
private refrigerator for the safe storage of breastmilk
movable desk to support productivity
ergonomic pumping chair, with medical grade silicon upholstery
Nessels lactation pods are the perfect solution when no room is available. Key features:
Light & Airy: Create open and bright space with dimmable lights and skylights
Occupancy Indicator & Keypad Lock: Keep the pods secure for intended use
Sound Dampening Acoustic Paneling: Ensure sound proofing and complete privacy
Eco-Friendly: Create the freshest environment, with non-toxic, sustainably sourced materials
Available in 3 sizes, 2 finishes
ADA compliant options available
Nessel also offers stand-alone portable sinks, and a broad line of accessories.
Nessel is the only full-service provider of lactation space accommodations. Our team of architects and consultants provide custom design and architectural services, executive education, change management training, and project management for multi-site implementations.
The product/market fit is tight: for every $1 invested in lactation rooms companies make back $3 in cost savings. And more importantly, they are now also now legally required to create lactation rooms.
With the 2022 passage of the PUMP Act, any employer with over 50 employees must provide private lactation space that is not a bathroom. Additionally, recent Title IX updates require higher education institutions to designate proper lactation accommodations. Nessel helps businesses stay compliant, as our products meet regulations.
We are successful because our products are designed to meet a specific need. With an eye toward promoting healthy and sustainable environments, Nessel products carry 6 eco-certifications. Our Lactation Pods are Clean Air Certified. Nessel is certified as a Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) and WBENC.
Weve already seen strong traction in the last 4+ years, landing industry leading clients such as Tesla, Volvo, Yale, Oakland As, NYU Langone Health, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Citgo, EPA, Baltimore Police, Southwire, and more. We do extensive work with the US Military and are currently on almost 20% of all US Air Force bases.
At Nessel, we are dedicated to empowering organizations to fully support their workforce. By providing safe, sanitary, and nurturing lactation rooms, we help retain women in the workforce and inspire organizations to champion diversity and inclusion. Together, we are building environments where every individual can thrive.
