June 21st is recognized as the official “take your dog to work day,” which is a fun opportunity to bring your pup to the office.
This fun day makes us wonder, “Should we always take our pooches to work?” Keep reading to discover ten reasons why bringing your dog to work every day is a great idea!
Reduce stress
Studies have shown employees who have their dogs at work are less stressed, than people who don’t. (wow this explains most of our populations stress level)!
Improve social life in the workplace
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
Do you know that famous companies allow dogs at work? More than likely, you thought of Google and Amazon right off the bat! 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!
Attract top talent
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.
Keep workers happy
With canines running around the office, it’s hard not to smile! Simply put, dogs make people happy. Dog-friendly office spaces go a long way to increasing long-term employee satisfaction. This lowers staff turnover rates and saves the company money in the long run.
