The US Coast Guard is trying to make it a bit easier for new moms to return to work. Moms on duty who send breast milk back home for their babies will be able to get up to $750 of yearly shipping costs reimbursed.
Via a new program, moms on duty who send breast milk back home for their babies will be able to get up to $750 of yearly shipping costs reimbursed.The program, announced on Tuesday, is in response to feedback from the Women's Retention Study and Holistic Analysis, the US Coast Guard said.
Schultz established a task force in June 2018 to improve gender diversity in the Coast Guard. Women leave the active-duty Coast Guard at higher rates than men, according to a March Coast Guard-commissioned report by the nonprofit think tank RAND Corporation. The retention rate at 5 years of service was 5.6% higher for male service members. When the report looked at 19 years of service, the male service members' retention rate was nearly 13% higher, RAND Corporation found in another report.
