A dog can greatly improve your social life and help you connect with strangers. Dogs help promote socialization, productivity levels, and cooperation. Imagine how great this would be in a work setting!

 

It’s a great PR opportunity

We love hearing stories about progressive workplaces that bend the rules to focus on employee satisfaction. There are lots of inclusive companies that offer pet insurance, dog play areas, free boarding, and even delicious dog treats! A dog-friendly policy makes your business look cool, inviting, and a fun place to work.

 

Increase work performance

Dogs are an effective stress-reliever and it’s been proven that pets in the office help employees get more work done. On top of this, it’s encouraged for office workers to take regular breaks to alleviate tiredness, stress, and anxiety. What better excuse to have mini-breaks during the day than to pet your dog or even take a walk!

 

Get some fresh air

Bringing your BFFL (Best Friend For Life) to work with you is also a great way to encourage yourself to leave the office during lunchtime and get some fresh air. A quick walk outside during your break is the perfect way to let off steam and get some exercise.

 

Positive work-life balance

Dogs in the office can make your workspace feel more casual and comfortable. Having dogs around will make the office feel more like a comfortable and casual home!

In today’s modern world, the job market is more competitive than ever. For many people searching for work, dog-friendly policies are a huge plus. By creating a work environment that is inclusive of pets, you can attract the best talent in the industry.

 

Improve employee cooperation

In a dog-friendly work environment, everyone works together better and finds it easier to form bonds and build trust. This is invaluable when the business survives on teamwork and communication!

 

Less sick days

A significant number of sick days that people take are for pets. Either they want to help ease a new pet into the home or they are keeping an eye out for their dog if it’s under the weather. Whatever the reason having their dog close can be a huge relief for pet owners. Offices with dog spaces are an inspiring feature that encourages employees to come to work every day.
