Working to Be With Your Pet

Expanding the positive presence of dogs in the workplace

We know the importance of spending time with our dogs, wherever we are! This month we are putting the focus on the value of dogs in the workplace—whether you have returned to the office or continue to work remotely.

The benefits are clear:

• Reduce anxiety – Studies show that employees who bring pets to work have fewer signs of stress.
• Make new friends – Pets make it easier to approach new people and get to know them better.
• Create change – More than half of employees who want pets allowed in the office are willing to spearhead efforts to make their workplace pet friendly.

We are embracing the efforts of our friends at Purina to promote Pets in the Workplace! If you aren’t already doing so, make January a time to spend more time with your dog at work. Purina makes it easy with their handy Employee Tool Kit.
