Yes, but I don't use. Too many bf moms in my ofc 
I pump at my workstation. My colleagues who sit near me are all ladies. I asked and they don't mind. My male/female bosses avoid coming over at the regular hours I pump. Too shy I think :tlaugh:
How abt meeting rooms? Some of my colleagues in another office use meeting rooms. Those who use the glass panelled ones pump with their backs to the door and cover themselves with a nursing poncho.
My friend pumps in handicapped toilet cos her ofc does not have such facilities.
If your office is anywhere near a shopping mall, then use their nursing rooms. Cleaner than using toilet.

I only can pump in the toilet, but is clean enough for me. :001_302:

yes my office comes with nursing facilities that has 4 individual rooms (toilet cubicle size) and an open space with sofas in case all 4 are used up. During the 'peak' hours, it's always full as there are too many nursing mummies. So like camon, we turn to either meeting rooms, teleconference rooms or handicap toilets.
I remember my boss had to 'give up' his office everyday between for 30 minutes to a colleague of mine as during that period of time the nursing rooms really 'too hot' and our office was under reno.

I use an Ameda. It's quieter cos the pump is not attached to the funnels. To reduce the noise further, I cover it with my shawls or cardis.
Haahaa, I actually didn't ask my bosses b4 I started at my cubicle. It was a natural progression cos the nursing rm was too far away from where I am. At least I am still working while I am pumping, so boss also happy

Yes, there's a special room that caters for mothers to express milk. One at a time, so we dont share the room together, we take turns. Thankfully, it's at best just another mummy beside myself, so we arrange among ourselves what time we will go and use the room.
I dont like the idea of expressing in the toilet.

i think i am fortunate that i switched to a job before getting pregnant, where although the title is the same, but now i get my own office, so i can put my bar fridge there and also pump in privacy. but even then, i still take precaution and seal up the slim glass panel on my door and put a stopped behind the door when i am pumping. after a while, colleagues know that when they see my door closed, they will call or email me. my boss also came to learn abt this from my other colleagues and is understanding enough. =)
My company has over 6000 employees and 1 nursing room. The campus is huge and I'm located at a building that is 15 minutes walk away from the nursing room. I pump 20 minutes each time but spend 30 minutes walking. Total time away - 50 minutes away!! Pump twice a day..... My boss will jump, I tell you.
So, I pump in a store room. Good enough.:001_302:

i put in a suggestion to HR to create nursing rooms around my campus but got the reply that there are not enough rooms around. so i use my own office for myself and allow my staff to use the meeting room in our dept as and when they need and it doesn't clash with any meeting.
my previous workplace had a nursing room for nearly 1000 staff. the mummies come together during lunch time to pump together - there is solidarity and it's also nice to encourage one another and trade motherhood/parenting stories.
