Milk Stork

I'm so proud to work for a company that is committed to creating a workplace where employees can truly thrive in their work and personal lives - especially as a working parent! One of the amazing benefits we offer at Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. is a Milk Stork account, a breast milk shipping service for working mothers. This thoughtful service empowers moms to continue their breastfeeding journey, even when traveling for work, by providing a hassle-free way to ship breast milk home. ?????? Can’t wait to see my first box of milk make its way home as I'm on my first work trip since having Ketel-kiddo #2! ???? It’s reassuring to know that KDP not only acknowledges the unique challenges we face but takes proactive steps to support our work-life balance. Creating a culture of care and inclusivity makes all the difference, and I’m grateful to be a part of an organization that understands the importance of family. ???? Special shout out to all the working parents at KDP who checked in on me this week (moms and dads!). I'm overwhelmed by the support and so encouraged by the stories my colleagues have shared who have been in my shoes before or who are going through it with me as they have littles of their own. Community is everything and I'm so thankful for mine at KDP. #WorkingMoms #SupportiveWorkplace #WorkLifeBalance #FamilyFirst #ProudEmployee #BreastfeedingJourney #WomenEmpowerment #InclusiveBenefits #KDPEmployee

Reflecting on an incredible week at Dreamforce, and the challenges of being a working, traveling mom of a 9-month-old. My days were filled with coffee, attending sessions, hosting meetings, pumping, and storing milk—essentially repeating this every few hours amidst the high-energy atmosphere. What I truly value about working at Salesforce is the support I receive to balance my needs as a parent while excelling at my job. This week, I utilized several resources, including the private Parents Room on campus, Mamava pods at SFO and Moscone, and the game-changing services of Milk Stork. The relief I feel when I can easily order a cooler, have it delivered to my hotel, and drop it off at FedEx for next-day delivery is invaluable—and it's all part of my employee benefits. Thank you Salesforce and the fabulous Dreamforce Events team, of which I’m lucky to personally know Ashley Wham for being super intentional about showing up for the parents that are juggling many roles in our life all at once!

This. All of this. ????????????????

Grateful to work for a progressive company like Huron who supports working/traveling nursing moms by providing us with benefits like Milk Stork! Sending home my golden milk for babe to keep growing happy and healthy! ?? Now I can fully experience Dreamforce knowing that family is taken care of! #dreamforce24 Salesforce

According to Parents Under Pressure: The Surgeon General’s Advisory on the Mental Health and Well-Being of Parents, 41% of parents report that most days they are so stressed they cannot function, and 48% say their stress feels completely overwhelming. And what’s one major stressor for new parents? SLEEP. It's so obvious if you're in it, but it's often overlooked by society. The report goes on to say: During early childhood, parents and caregivers often experience stress related to sleep disturbances, adjustment to new parental roles, and more work-family conflict. This exhaustion isn’t just a personal battle—it’s a public health issue. Employers are in a unique position to support exhausted parents returning to work and offer support during these critical early years. By acknowledging and addressing the stress parents face, we can create healthier workplaces for families to thrive. #worklifebalance #workingparents
