It’s a literal requirement in many commercial buildings. They’re for breastfeeding in the code of many municipalities, but you can’t call them booby rooms so they’re “wellness rooms”. A commercial space I was looking at required 2 nursing/wellness rooms because of the size. For a team of 10 dudes. Ridiculous

You need to fit all the requirements, regardless of the current composition of your company. Are you saying that you will never hire women? If a woman interviewed there, she would be put off by the lack of accomodations.

2 rooms is a bit much for 10 people, but one is totally understandable if you ever intend to hire women.

The premise of these rules is that they apply regardless of gender, in order to avoid incentivizing an all-male office specifically to avoid regulations. Now, if you do decide your company doesn’t need to be a pure sausage fest, you won’t be on the hook to build out a new room specifically to accommodate someone of the opposite gender.

And, in the meantime, you’ve got a space to take a private phone call or pop an advil and close your eyes for a minute, if you feel the need.

Ding ding ding. It’s not about the current state of your workforce. It’s about what your workforce could be in the future, and ensuring that future candidates aren’t discriminated against just because of decisions made by employees who don’t even work there anymore.
