Apply for Your
Texas Mother-Friendly Worksite Designation

Please prepare before starting this application process.

 

Getting Started with your Texas Mother-Friendly Worksite Designation

During the application process, we will ask you some basic questions about your worksite. We have provided some tips below to ensure you are prepared.

If you would like more than one worksite considered for designation, you will need to submit a separate application for each worksite. If you have more than 5 worksites, you may prefer to submit these by completing a spreadsheet. If so, please contact TexasMotherFriendlyWorksite@dshs.texas.gov for a copy of the spreadsheet you will need to complete.

 Have your employee worksite lactation support policy close by.

To receive your designation as a Texas Mother-Friendly Worksite, you'll need to submit your worksite's written employee lactation support policy. If you have more than one policy document, please merge them into a single document if possible. If you have this document in PDF or Word format, we will give you an opportunity to upload it. Otherwise, you will be asked to fax it to our offices.

 Be prepared to answer a few questions about your policy.

We will ask some questions about your worksite lactation support policy. If you need to review your policy to find the answers to these questions, please do so before beginning the application process.

 Have your Worksite information ready.

In addition to providing a copy of your policy, you will be asked to confirm that your worksite meets the criteria for designation. We will also ask some questions about your worksite's location and contacts.

Once you have everything ready, the application should take 15-20 minutes.
